Hi! We're UW.
We’re on a mission to take the headache out of utilities by providing them all in one place. One bill for energy, broadband, mobile and insurance and a whole lot of savings!
We’re aiming to double in size as we help more people to stop wasting time and money. Big ambitions, to be delivered by people like you.
Got your attention? Read on…
We put people first. It’s all about you.
We're excited to find great people for our debt solutions roles. People who want to join our team and build a career here at UW. Our advisors are solutions heroes, but this role isn't for everyone… take a moment to consider the following before you hit “apply”:
3. Do you have experience of working in a debt recovery role?
4. Do you have strong customer service experience, can easily build rapport, and feel satisfied from resolving a customer issue?
5. Are you comfortable handling challenging, tough and emotive calls, where there is a lot to learn and things are always changing?
6. Are you someone who loves to think differently about problems of all types, challenges assumptions, and throws themselves into creating new solutions?
7. Can you remain calm under pressure and thrive in a fast-paced environment?
8. Are you motivated by meeting goals and targets and can you demonstrate responsibility, integrity, and efficiency?
9. Can you demonstrate patience, empathy, and possess emotional intelligence?
10. Can you demonstrate good timekeeping and commitment?
If you answered "yes" to these questions, then you're just the kind of person we're looking for!
We work together. Your team and the people you will work with…
The team help support customers who have fallen deep into the debt process and provide solutions before going down the warrant process. If a warrant has been applied for, the Payment Solutions team assists our 3rd party agents on sites to ensure the warrants go ahead as smoothly as possible.
We deliver progress. What to expect through the day as an Advisor:
This is a very hands-on role and not one for the faint-hearted. No two customers, problems, or resolution journeys are the same. You will be empowered to provide customers with support, advice and the peace of mind that their current issue can be resolved.
11. Receive inbound calls from our customers, the wider call centre and 3rd party collection agents regarding accounts which have fallen into our debt process.
12. Conduct outbound calls where required to customers and other 3rd parties to resolve accounts.
13. Work with others in your team to investigate accounts and decide on best solutions.
14. Take ownership of your assigned work and ensuring this is completed within the agreed SLAs.
15. Offer repayment options to customers who are in arrears, which are inline with both our internal policies and OFGEM's ability to pay principles.
16. Identify vulnerable customers and offer additional support to them - including referrals to citizens advice or debt charities where appropriate.
