What we do
We specialise in Home Emergency claims management, fixing everyday breakdowns such as broken boilers, burst pipes and electrical failures.
Why we do it
Experiencing a home emergency can be a stressful time so we believe our customers deserve outstanding customer service and support, delivered by our fantastic team based in Hebburn and our national supply chain of engineers.
How we do it
Your days will be varied, however there are some tasks that are as standard, such as:
Taking inbound and making outbound calls to speak with customers who require help with their home emergency (we do not cold call; all our customers are expecting our calls and happy to hear from us).
Arranging for our engineers to attend and alleviate the emergency promptly.
Ensure repairs and return appointments are progressed as quickly as possible.
As your time with us progresses, your knowledge will improve and you’ll advance to more complex claims management, relating to individual insurance policy coverage and quotation calculations.
What we need from you
- A positive and enthusiastic personality is essential.
- Commitment to always giving 100% in everything you do.
- Ability to work our 5-on and 5-off shift pattern, on 10 hour shifts.
This is a full-time, permanent role.

- Mid shift: 9am to 7pm.
- Mid shift: 11am to 9pm.
- Late shift: 2pm to midnight.
The shift pattern is an integral part of our business, so please do not apply if these would not be suitable for you.
Our promise to you
With a starting salary of £10.42 per hour, we aim to get you fully trained within 12-16 weeks of starting with us, once fully trained you'll receive a competitive hourly rate of £11.49 (paid weekly) and also be part of our incentive scheme which offers the opportunity to increase your salary up to £29,000.
We offer:
