Join Our Customer Contact Centre
We're seeking applicants to join our team as Customer Service Advisors. This role offers valuable experience and exposure within the Housing Sector.
The opportunities from joining our Customer Contact Centre are endless! We invest in your future, offering opportunities to develop skills and advance within the Housing Sector. Many of our team members have progressed into roles in Supporting Housing, Digital Inclusion, and Customer Focus teams, with some advancing into senior management roles. Our Programme Change Development Lead, Account Managers, Data Analysts, Project Managers, and Specialist Landlord Coordinators all started in our Customer Contact Centre.
Role Overview
We pride ourselves on delivering first-class customer service. You will join our award-winning Customer Service Centre, which has been operating since 2001. As part of our growing team, you'll support customers with housing applications, managing low-level anti-social behaviour, diagnosing repair issues, and more—all while being trained on everything you need to succeed.
The first six months are office-based to facilitate training and support. Afterwards, the role may become hybrid (two days remote, three days in-office) to support work-life balance, or remain fully office-based if preferred. Our office is accessible by local bus routes, and free onsite parking is available.
