The role
Lead a high-performing customer service/contact centre team and help deliver an outstanding consumer advice service. We’re looking for an experienced Team Leader to join our Wales Advice Centre and coach a team of telephone advisors to consistently achieve targets and great customer outcomes.

What you will do
* People leadership: lead, motivate, coach and develop a team of telephone advisors, and line manage the Customer Experience Officer (performance, absence, targets and development).
* Operational management: manage rotas, workflow allocation and call queue management (inbound/outbound) to meet service demand and deliver against service level agreements (SLAs).
* Performance management: use dashboards, targets and call monitoring insights to drive improvement, recognise strong performance and support colleagues who need extra help.
* Quality & customer experience: work with the Customer Experience Officer to improve advice quality through trend analysis, feedback and tailored coaching.
* Reporting & insight: produce routine and ad hoc reports to support formal reviews and management decisions on call volumes and resourcing.
* Continuous improvement: identify recurring issues, improve processes, document best practice and support implementation of new service offerings.
What you will bring
* Proven experience managing people in a contact centre, customer service or target‑driven environment.
* Strong operational skills: planning, prioritising and allocating work to meet demand.
* Confidence using data, dashboards and reporting to improve performance and quality.
* Excellent communication skills and a practical, supportive coaching style.
* Strong IT skills (Microsoft Office, databases) and excellent numeracy.
* A continuous‑improvement mindset and commitment to inclusion and equity.
