We are seeking full-time Customer Service Advisors to be part of our vibrant team. The job primarily involves answering calls from policyholders, financial advisors and other professionals who require information about our client’s policies.

In a typical day you will be providing general information about a broad range of financial products, checking the status of claims and resolving complaints.

Some of the callers may be unsure of the information they require, and your task will be to guide and advise them on a solution. This will involve navigating systems on the computer to find general information or communicating with other departments to send out further information.

The basic nature of the role means that you will spend entire shifts on the phone dealing with a series of calls, which are fundamentally similar in purpose.

This is a great opportunity for anyone who is looking to kick-start a career. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have experience working in a contact centre environment before, as we’ll give you full training to understand our clients, products and offers.

Perhaps you’ve previously worked in retail, or in the service industry—we’re looking for great people with transferable skills who can understand customer challenges and communicate clearly and confidently.

We’ll offer you skills training to help you effectively become a better, more confident, and persuasive communicator so you can go even further in your role.

• Operating effectively within a wider customer experience team
• Discussing features of customers’ life & pensions products all within the documented processes
• Handling standard queries and specialist enquiries where appropriate
• Identifying vulnerable customers, showing empathy & considering referral to the vulnerable team.
  
  

What We’re Looking For

• A passion for helping people.
• Transferable experience of face-to-face or call centre-based customer service
• Experience of developing strong customer relationships.
• Confident in using multiple computer systems.
• Minimum Grade C/4 in Maths and English
  
  

What’s In It For You.

• A fantastic salary of £24,043.50
• Home working days will be considered once you have completed your probation period.
• 23 days holiday (rising to 27) plus bank holidays with the opportunity to buy extra leave
• Monthly/Annual Review Recognition Scheme & Awards
• The opportunity to grow & develop your career within Life & Pensions or across wide Capita divisions and accounts.
• Opportunity to join our creating Future Leaders Programme to fast track your career into management.
• Company matched pension, life assurance, a cycle2work scheme, 15 weeks’ fully paid maternity, adoption and shared parental leave…and plenty more.
• The opportunity to take a paid day out of the office, volunteering for our charity partners or a cause of your choice.
• Access to our Employee Network Groups, which represent every strand of diversity and allow colleagues to connect and learn from each other on an open, inclusive platform.
