Are you a natural problem solver who can turn challenges into positive outcomes through empathy, clear thinking and strong attention to detail?
As a Homeowner Support Advisor, you’ll play a vital role in supporting homeowners throughout their experience with a tradesperson they’ve connected with through Checkatrade.

* Take ownership of enquiries from first contact to resolution, ensuring homeowners receive timely updates and consistent support throughout.
* Demonstrate a continuous improvement mindset, using insights from customer feedback to identify and suggest opportunities for streamlining common processes, enhancing self-service guidance, or reducing repeat contact through clearer communications.
* Escalate complex cases appropriately, following policies and involving senior teams where risks or legal issues are identified.
What’s in it for you?
* Salary: £26,860 per annum
* Working hours: 40 hours per week, shifts between 8am–6pm, Monday to Friday
* Career development: Ongoing training, coaching, and personal growth opportunities
* Supportive team: Friendly, inclusive environment where people matter
What do you need to succeed?

* Complaint resolution experience: you’re confident managing difficult conversations and turning frustrations into positive outcomes
* Excellent written and verbal communication skills: clear, calm, and compassionate, even in challenging situations
* Empathy and resilience: you understand the emotional impact of issues in people’s homes and respond with sensitivity
* Critical thinker and problem solver: you approach every issue methodically and take pride in finding fair, practical solutions
* Organisational skills: you’re able to manage multiple cases and deadlines without missing a beat
* Tech-savvy: comfortable using GSuite products and customer support systems such as Salesforce Service Cloud
