The role of our Customer Service Advisor is critical to the success of our business. Our customers are predominantly elderly and rely upon our office teams to resolve their queries and take their orders over the phone.

The role involves following up on new enquiries, the taking of customer orders, and also the making of outbound courtesy calls.
