Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Here's what you'll be doing:
- Customer obsessed service: Delivering an excellent customer experience within our high-performing contact centre team, focusing on first-time resolution.
- Problem solver: Handling a wide variety of queries, including income, tenancy management, repairs, lettings, and anti-social behaviour.
- Tech-savvy: Creating and updating customer records using our systems, ensuring accuracy and efficiency.
- Proactive communicator: Keeping customers up to date with information relating to their queries through various channels.
- Supportive advisor: Promoting and assisting customers to use our self-service portal and booking appointments for required services.
You'll be part of a supportive team but it’s important to mention that a large proportion of this role will be home-based, so you need to be comfortable with this way of working. There will be some in-person in office working at least monthly.
What we need from you:
We're looking for folk who are customer-focused – or as we say at Yorkshire Housing, "Customer Obsessed”, along with the below:
- You should have excellent people and communication skills, with the ability to adapt to and meet each customer's needs.
- A calm, empathetic, and clear telephone manner is essential, along with quick, solutions-focused thinking and the ability to work independently.
- Resilience and the ability to handle difficult situations objectively are important, as is strong organisational skills and attention to detail.
- Experience of using a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) System.
- You should have comprehensive IT experience, especially with MS products, and a stable home internet connection (minimum 75Mbps).
- It would be a bonus if you have experience working in a busy contact centre, with the ability to keep accurate notes, prioritise calls, multi task and meet KPI’s (Key Performance Indicators) and SLA’s (Service Level Agreements). Check out the Role Profile attached for full requirements!
