Who are we looking for?


You will be a positive and solution focused individual with a can-do attitude, as we strive to resolve all customer queries at first instance.

Your ability to adapt will enable you to move between different customer contact, whether this is face to face, live chat or on the phone supporting as an overflow to our contact centre.

Previous experience in a customer focused role, either face to face or telephony is advantageous.

Our employees, just like our customers come from all walks of life, and we’re fuelled in championing diversity, inspiring an inclusive culture, and enabling an environment where you can be your authentic self.
