At HMRC we are committed to creating a great place to work for all our colleagues; an inclusive and respectful environment that reflects the diversity of the society we serve.

We want to maximise the potential of everyone who chooses to work for us and we offer a range of flexible working patterns and support to make a fulfilling career at HMRC accessible to you.

At HMRC we have a vital purpose. We help people pay their tax and provide financial support to families and individuals. We make sure money is available to fund the UK’s public services such as hospitals and schools, answering around 50 million calls and handling 15 million items of customer correspondence every year.

We’re striving to be the best customer service organisation in the UK, and we need enthusiastic people to help us achieve this.

Our services support customers on behalf of the entire department, dealing with a broad range of different and complex customer enquiries.

This is a great chance to start your career with HMRC and we offer real opportunities to progress and develop your career with us or the wider Civil Service if you choose.

**Job description**:
Our Customer Service Advisors are the voice of HMRC, using their brilliant communications skills to give our customers the best possible experience.

Your primary role will be handling contact from customers effectively and efficiently across different lines of business.

Your duties will depend on the line of business you join; however, all business areas expect your duties to include:

- speaking to customers on the phone, helping them with their questions or issues
- taking payments by phone, letter and our online services
- creating customer records and keeping them up to date

We work a variety of shifts between 7.45am and 8pm Monday to Saturday, to make sure we can help customers when they need us.

You will work a maximum of one late shift per week (ending at 8pm) and a maximum of 6 Saturdays each year.

The majority of roles within customer services allow you to work from home two days a week if you choose, this includes Saturday and 8pm shifts.

As a flexible employer, we consider part-time requests, however we do require you to complete your training on a full-time basis, usually 6 weeks Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.

Please note that this role is unsuitable for contractual home workers due to the nature and requirements of the role.
