Who we are

At FM Outsource we provide tech-led, high quality contact centres for some of the UK’s top retailers and logistics companies. We’re Omni-channel, multilingual and operate 24/7. Our expertise is built on years of experience and industry knowledge.

We care deeply about making a difference and being the best at what we do, and because of this we continue to grow.

We understand that different working arrangements work for different people, therefore we work really hard to help our people achieve their preference. We offer remote, hybrid and office based roles in order to help our people with their work and home life balance. All of our roles are based in the United Kingdom and as such all normal working days must be carried out in the United Kingdom.

We believe happy people create happy customers, that’s why we go above and beyond to make sure our people have the best possible employee experience. We have the quickest and easiest digital recruitment process! You will need to answer a few questions, do an online assessment and record some interview questions – that’s it. Once you pass this stage you are in!

We also have comprehensive training and onboarding, a great working environment, development and career opportunities, access to support teams and a work family that truly cares about you.

And if that wasn’t enough – you’ll be training and working completely from home, so no lengthy commute! Although the role is fully remote, you will of course be a fully fledged member of the FMO Fam!

If you have experience, are motivated to offer top level customer service and love working towards KPI’s then we want to hear from you. We are looking for engaged and confident people to join the team to help us continue in our evolution!

Please note that you must be UK based to apply for this role.

We are a BYOD (bring your own device) company for remote or hybrid Operator roles.

A bit about the Campaign

We handle email, webchat and social media queries on behalf of Fedex Cross Border, providing timely shipping advice to businesses and private individuals alike.

Additionally, we fix shipping data to minimise delays in our clients’ warehouses, as well as providing ad-hoc support for all manner of shipping-related processes.

We help their customers to understand where their parcels are, why there might be delays and when they will be delivered, ensuring we are following our client’s policies and procedures every step of the way.

Their customers are based out of the UK, USA, and Western Europe, so being comfortable communicating in the right way to people and businesses from around the world is key.

We have an extensive training programme to make sure you’ve got all the skills and resources you need to complete your shift independently.
