**The Role and Team**
**37.5 hours per week, any 5 in 6 days**
The role of our Customer Services Advisor is critical to the success of our business.
Our customers are predominantly elderly and rely upon our office teams to take their orders over the phone or via the internet.
The defining characteristics of our Customer Services Advisors are that they’re organised and efficient. However, apart from the technical skills that are required with the role, the most important attributes are that we demonstrate empathy, patience, kindness, friendliness, care and warmth to all our customers.
The role involves the taking of customer orders and also the making of outbound courtesy calls.
These calls are particularly important as many customers live alone and the phone calls they receive are often the only contact they may have in a single day. As such, many customers become very attached to their “friends” at Wiltshire Farm Foods.

The ultimate goal is to provide a service to our customers that exceed expectations while at the same time continuously improving efficiencies.
