Field Visiting Officer

As a Field Visiting Officer, you’ll be part of a friendly, welcoming team, visiting customers’ homes currently without a TV licence at addresses throughout the Portsmouth areas.

Helping them firstly understand and comply with the legislation behind the TV licence, explaining how they can obtain one, you’ll have the opportunity to build their confidence in both you and Television Licencing, and enable them to find a payment plan that works for them.

You'll receive four weeks of both engaging virtual classroom training and one-to-one training in your working location with one of our experienced trainers. Your two weeks of virtual classroom training will take you through the key aspects of your role, building a strong foundation for you to accelerate your growth as a Visiting Officer.

The one-to-one support in the Field will follow on from this, further enhancing your knowledge and skill within the Field, with hands-on exposure covering the important aspects of the role, such as how you approach and interact with our customers, how to use our technology and the best way to excel following our processes and policies.

Our on-going support is also what makes us stand out from the rest, with both a management and coaching team that is not only experienced but will help you grow and exceed your own expectations and progress your career, whether that’s into a management role or within the wider business.

Along with permanent contract and a starting salary of £25,380.40 pa, 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 £31,236.40 pa uncapped)

In addition, you can claim a tax-free business mileage allowance of 45p per mile on the first 10,000 miles (25p per mile thereafter) travelled. In addition to mileage completed between visits we also pay this allowance from and to your home address each day.

You’ll be working a 36.5-hour week on a flexible shift pattern, with 16 hours to be completed between 4pm-9pm Monday-Friday or anytime at weekend, with a potential of a four-day working week in either a part-time or full-time capacity.
