● First point of contact for enquiries out of hours from our client base

About you

● Previous experience of working in a contact/communications centre is also desirable but not essential
● You will be a team player - sometimes taking responsibilities for actions and supporting the other
members of the team

advantage but not essential
● You will be able to prioritise your workload whilst under pressure
● You will have good communication skills at all management and employee levels
● You will have attention to detail, with excellent written communication skills
● You will be proactive in your approach to work and know what exceptional customer service looks like
In return
● Basic salary of £11.69 per hour (circa £24,220pa)
● Plenty of overtime opportunities (expect to earn circa £28K+ with some overtime)
● Excellent opportunities for career progression within both the department and organisation
● Full training and support in the role will be provided from day one
● Free Parking
● 21 days annual leave
● Pension and Life Assurance scheme
