Casual Customer Service Adviser

About the role: Casual Digital Admissions Adviser

We are looking for Digital Admissions Advisers to join our team on a casual basis between 13 July 2026 and 23 October 2026 to support with our main student enrolment period.

We have an exciting opportunity available within our Contact Centre at our Reading College campus, offering up to 37 hours per week. In this role, no two days are the same. You will be joining our established team of friendly advisers to ensure we deliver and maintain an exceptional service to all customers, offering a first point resolution to customers over the phone and through enquiries.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone who is interested in expanding their skills in customer service and administrative support within the education sector, as well as a range of transferrable skills. You may not have considered using your skills in this way before, so this could take your career and experience in a new direction and may also present opportunities longer term, to provide you with a varied and fulfilling career path.

While this is only a temporary contract with Activate Learning, we are likely to have permanent positions become available in the new academic year and would welcome applications for these so you can continue your journey with us. While contracts will be up to 37 hours per week, there will also the opportunity for overtime depending on the team's capacity.

You will have a positive mindset and a commitment to providing excellent customer service. Previous relevant customer service experience is not required but is desirable.

This is a fast paced environment, and as a team we will handle a large volume of telephone calls and enquiries. We are looking for candidates who are self motivated, and have a flexible approach, with a proactive attitude to problem solving and the ability to work to deadlines.

There is an expectation upon stepping into this role that you will be able to work during GCSE results day on Thursday the 20th of August 2026.
