- Strong negotiation and communication skills
- A positive and practical approach to problem solving.
- Confidently use Microsoft Office and other IT systems.
- Experience of working in a pressurised environment.
- GCSE in Maths and English - Grade 4/ C or above.
- Ability to manage a busy workload with conflicting priorities.
- Previous contact centre experience and knowledge of home repairs and maintenance services are desirable.

We will be holding an assessment centre for this position on Monday 1st July.

**What will you get from us?**

In addition to a competitive salary and agile working, we also have a focus on employees’ development. We support both professional and personal development, ensuring everyone has a development plan and provide access to a wide range of internal and external learning resources.

**You’ll also receive**:

- 28 days paid holiday (pro-rata excluding bank holidays) per year rising by 1 day per year up to a maximum of one working week.
- A choice of Pension Schemes including a Defined Benefit Scheme with a 7.5% member contribution or a Defined Contribution Scheme with a 4% member contribution and 4% employer contribution. Both pension schemes provide Life Insurance Cover.
