  • Ensure customer satisfaction and continuity of service is managed.
  • Compliance with internal QA, organisational service, and advice standards, ensuring high-quality support offered.
  • Follow procedures for capturing and recording all customer-generated communication and action accurately into the CRM system.
  • Ensure individual and team targets/KPIs for customer service are maintained.

  • Develop specialist expertise in agreed business areas.

Person Specification:

  • Experience of working to deadlines and defined standards.
  • Ability to deal with wide-ranging enquiries and follow through to resolution, along with the ability to develop solutions to address a problem.
  • Excellent communication skills, both oral and written, tailoring all communications to suit the audience.
  • Customer service ethos – experience of delivering within a service environment and achieving excellent customer service results or the awareness of the importance of delivering great customer service.
  • A team player with the ability to multi-task and work in a cross-functional, fast-paced environment.
  • An ability to demonstrate a logical and pragmatic approach to challenges when under pressure.

Benefits:

  • Competitive salary.
  • Generous pension scheme.
  • A discretionary non-contractual performance-related bonus.
