Our Journey:

At Shell Energy, we believe that home energy matters. It's more than what boils the kettle or keeps the radiators warm. It empowers us to make better decisions now about our world tomorrow.


It's the reason why we supply 100% renewable electricity, carbon neutral home energy, smart home technology, discounts on broadband, and exclusive rewards.

Going above and beyond for our customers is what we're all about.

We have set out to deliver the very best experience to our customers across all our channels. But bigger challenges lie ahead. We need to keep moving forward. Why don't you help us get there?

Your part in our journey:


It's tough enough to know what to do when a loved one or family member passes away, that's even before thinking about paperwork and settling financial affairs.


Our bereavement team are a specialist team on hand to support both energy and broadband account and guide family members through this difficult time, making the next steps relating to a deceased customer's energy and broadband account as simple as possible.


Your part in the team:

  • Take key information relating to the person who has passed away such as relationship to deceased, date passed away, address/account details, meter reading, copy of death certificate or relevant documentation, contact numbers, who will be responsible for account moving forward
  • The adviser will need to ask sensitive questions to establish who is the point of contact for the deceased family members account moving forward.
  • Advisers will ask questions to find out if there is an executor in place, if there are named family members in the will to deal with the deceased estate and who they are, or if there is no will in place and it's likely that a probate court will need to name an estate administrator.
  • Based on the information gathered advise on the next steps, and the type of information required
  • Establish if someone intends to live in the property and look to support them to set up a new account for energy used moving forward.
  • Ensure departments such as finance, collections and other relevant areas are notified to prevent automated processes being started.
  • Some cases are complex and there could be many different routes to take and both legal and compliance requirements must be considered.
  • Our advisers break down steps into key activities and timeframes, explaining processes to the customer, what will happen next and agreeing points in time for actions to be completed by.
  • Plan and organise personal activity ensuring that commitments to customers are met on time. Deal with a large number of live cases as a team which require small actions at different points.
  • Keep detailed notes on the customer account, and ensuring kept up to date at all times

What you'll need to help you make the best of the role:

  • Excellent verbal, non verbal and written communication skills
  • Ability to work under pressure
  • Ability to employ appropriate listening and questioning techniques to establish a situation
  • Ability to spot inconsistencies in data, with a good attention to detail
  • Ability to accurately record information
  • Ability to empathise with customers, taking time to understand their point of view/how the customer may be feeling, and respond appropriately
  • Comfortable and resilient dealing with difficult conversations
  • High level of ability with planning and organisation
  • Ability to establish facts and identify problems to be solved
  • Ability to use judgement and find solutions in varied situations
  • Ability to read, understand and retain information
  • Ability to learn new information, systems or processes quickly
