As a Contact Centre Advisor, you can make your own powerful contribution. When someone gets in touch with our Housing contact centre, you'll be the friendly person they're glad to chat with. You'll be the one who listens carefully to their questions and provides the answers they need. If they're confused, you'll provide clarity. If they're frustrated, you'll focus on solving their problem. Put simply: whatever kind of day they're having when they make contact, you'll help to make it a better one.

Ours is a modern contact centre, so you'll manage all kinds of contact - from phone to face to face, from email to social media and web chat. You'll bring the same high standards of professionalism, empathy and courtesy to all channels and every interaction. Because you're here for customers, whether they need to make a complaint, learn something, or connect with a service. Making the most of every opportunity to develop your knowledge and skills, you'll do your best to be the one who resolves every enquiry first time.

If you have ideas about how we can improve our processes and respond better to the changing needs of our organisation and communities, you'll find we're more than willing to listen to you. What's more, we'll help you develop and grow as part of a dynamic team where ambition, diversity and creativity are celebrated.

Experience of working in a housing management or public sector environment would definitely be a bonus. We'd certainly prefer you to demonstrate experience of delivering excellent customer service in a fast paced environment. The ability to deal patiently and calmly with challenging customers and resolve their concerns will be a real advantage.

As our contact centre is a target driven environment, we'll expect you to be able to prioritise your own workload productively. Good keyboard skills will equip you to keep clear and accurate records of conversations and outcomes, so we can help customers even better in the future.
