This is an exciting opportunity to begin a career in Customer Service. In this role, you will work as part of a fast-paced Customer Service team and also undertake a Level 3 Customer Service Specialist Apprenticeship. This is an exciting time to join the CSC as we develop how we deliver an enhanced customer experience for our wide range of customers, alongside a highly valued procurement service for low complexity procurement activities.

An Apprenticeship provides work-based, on the job training and development. The training is fully funded so it doesn’t cost you anything – and you’ll earn whilst you learn. They provide you with the skills, knowledge and behaviours you need to be fully effective in a designated role. With very few exceptions, you don’t need to have related work experience/ qualifications to apply.

What’s important throughout the Apprenticeship is that you put into practice what you learn, and capture evidence of this so your progress and increasing capability can be assessed.

This means you won’t be asked to study in your own time.
