**Job title**:

As a **Field Visiting Officer **, you will visit customers currently without a TV licence at addresses throughout the **Taunton, TA postcode area **, helping them firstly understand and comply with the legislation behind the TV licence, explaining how they can obtain one, and enabling them to find a payment plan that works for them.

Along with permanent contract and a starting salary of £23,680, you will also be eligible for an uncapped commission scheme offering an annual average of £5,856 in additional earnings (taking the salary to an average of £29,536 pa uncapped).

In addition, an annual business mileage allowance of 45p per mile on the first 10,000 miles travelled paid from and to your home address.

Experience in a similar role isn’t essential, though previous experience working in a field-based role is desirable. You’ll receive four weeks of training at the start and work with a training officer on the road until you’re comfortable with the role. With support from your manager, you’ll have the chance to grow your skills and progress your career, whether that’s into a management role or within the wider business.

- Explain and sell the benefits of all licence payment schemes
- Take and accurately record payment details
- Attend court when required to give evidence in prosecution cases
- Carry out work and attend meetings as directed by the Visiting Manager
- Maintain an effective deterrent against evasion of the TV licence
- Taking Records of Interview under caution

**What you’ll need to bring**:

- It’s essential that you have a full UK Driving Licence and access to your own a car, with at least a year of driving experience.
- You’ll need to be physically mobile, as you’ll be visiting multiple locations on a daily basis.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills with an excellent standard of both verbal and written English.
- Similar previous experience is not essential - we have colleagues who excel from a diverse range of backgrounds, whether that’s customer service, retail, sales, ex-Armed Forces or security, however, there is one thing in common - excellent communication skills.
