Blue Cross are one of the UK’s leading animal welfare organisations for animals. We support sick, injured and homeless pets and care for more than 40,000 animals every year through our rehoming, veterinary and education programmes.

The help we offer includes veterinary treatment, finding loving new homes for pets, pet food banks, behavioural advice, support with pet bereavement and education for future generations.

What is the role?

Internally this role is known as First Response Supervisor

About you

Some of the calls we take can be emotionally challenging so to succeed in this role, the person will be an excellent communicator with the ability to stay calm and be empathetic when callers become distressed. Understanding the deep bond pet owners have with their pets will be very important as you need to have empathy with people who are often struggling in situations that are not easy to resolve.

As the supervisor of the team, you will be supporting your team members to help them to develop a calm, kind and understanding approach to all of our clients. You will also be able to demonstrate how to deliver unwelcome news to some of the enquirers we talk to.

The person will be hard working, well organised, reliable and work in line with our Blue Cross values and culture. The Call Centre Supervisor will also be flexible and willing to take on new challenges and be able to prioritise your work and react appropriately to things that are unexpected. With a culture of sharing successes, you will be keen to succeed and share your team’s success with others.

You will have
- Demonstrable customer service skills
- Experience of managing a team
- Proven experience in a busy call handling work environment, with frequent people contact, particularly on the telephone
- Excellent written communication with particular emphasis on empathy
- Ability to remain calm and courteous under pressure in a high-pressure environment
- Knowledge and understanding of pet welfare which could be as a result of either a work or hobby experience
- Experience of training and motivating others
- Good level of IT literacy and using Microsoft 365 products (i.e., Word, Excel, PowerPoint, SharePoint, Teams)

It would also be great if you had:

- Knowledge of handling enquiries using other channels such as Webchat and Social Media
- Having worked for a charity in a customer-facing role
- Experience of dealing with complaints
- Experience of handling difficult or distressed customers

Why Blue Cross?

Our people are the most important part of delivering our purpose. If it were not for their amazing efforts and commitment, we would not be able to make a difference that we do today. We offer a generous benefits package that includes:

- 6 weeks annual leave plus bank holidays
- Employee Assistance Programme
- Holiday exchange & enhanced parental leave.
- Annual volunteer days
- Long service awards, starting from 5 years.
- Vast range of discounts across high street stores, insurance services & more
