Job description.
Building on our existing service desk team which ranges in experience and role, we are looking for several Customer Service Advisors with both senior and junior roles available.
The role and company are ideally suited to those looking to progress their career.
Whilst the team can enjoy particularly busy periods in terms of calls and tickets, we work hard to ensure all members of the team are able to thrive in a fun and welcoming environment with a strong focus on ensuring scope for growth within the company and personally.
All members of the team are expected to pitch in and take all manner of calls and tickets, however, there is potential for those who have specialist capabilities to be more primarily focused on those aspects in which they can achieve and grow the most.
Excellent communication skills both in terms of written and verbal are of absolute paramount importance.
Team members will undergo an initial three stage training plan over the course of their first three months, taking them through the company, its clients and our systems as well as training on specific technical, customer service and project management skillsets. Upon completion of this programme, their pay packages will be reviewed.
The ability to adapt, learn and manage your own time efficiently is vital for this. However, time will be made available within our dedicated training facilities and meeting spaces to complete these sessions.
For those who already have skillsets covered within our training programme, and are able to demonstrate this, we will be able to progress them through their probationary period faster. However, we are looking to cultivate a team that is predicated on both their technical skills as well as their wider customer service capabilities. As such, customer service approaches will be given equal weight to all roles.
