What you’ll be doing
as a Customer Service Representative
As a Customer Service Representative, you’ll be the friendly voice on the other end of the line – the first person our customers speak to when they need help. Whether it's explaining a water bill, resolving an issue, or finding the perfect tariff, you’ll deliver top-tier service with empathy and a smile. Every day will be different – and every call, an opportunity to make a real difference.
No Experience? No Problem!
We believe in potential, not perfection. From day one, we’ll give you the training, guidance, and tools you need to shine. If you’re eager to learn, we’re ready to invest in you.
Why join us?
Community focus: We’re proud to serve our communities – that’s why we ask that you live within the Thames Water region. (Hint: if your water bill comes from us, you’re in!)
Fair opportunities: We’re big believers in growth from within. With dedicated coaching, training, and development, we’ll help you build the career you want.
Flexible shifts: The hours of work are 36 hours a week, following a shift pattern that varies from month to month between 8 am - 8 pm & 1 in every 4 Saturdays. One of our friendly team members will discuss available shifts with you.
Team collaboration: Working in a supportive and collaborative environment where teamwork is key. Share ideas, solve problems, and celebrate successes as a team.
The start date for the role is 13th October 2025.
Our Customer Service department is currently based at our Walnut Court office in Kembrey Park, Swindon. We'll be moving our Swindon office from Walnut Court to Newbridge Square in Spring 2026.
