Bexhill, United Kingdom Hastings Direct Full time

Are you looking for a new opportunity to develop a career in the world of Insurance? We have an opening for a Customer Representative to join our Retentions department

Training: The first five weeks will involve both theoretical and experiential learning in the classroom. Then, in weeks six and seven, you will move to Academy, where you will apply your learning and begin to assist our customers with the support of our knowledgeable coaches.

Hours: 37.5 Hours per week, a Monday to Friday rotational shift pattern between the hours of 08:00 - 19:00
