Customer Service Advisor (Trade Support)

As our next Customer Service Advisor (Trade Support), you’ll be the first voice our tradespeople hear when they need help, support or advice. Whether it’s solving a problem, answering a question, or showing them how to get more from their membership, you’ll make sure every interaction feels simple, helpful and valuable.

This is a great role for someone who loves supporting others, stays calm under pressure, and takes pride in delivering great service.

Forget long lists, here’s what you’ll actually spend your time on:

  • Helping tradespeople get more from Checkatrade, answering calls, chats and emails with care and confidence
  • Spotting how to add value, guiding members towards tools, features or upgrades that support their goals
  • Solving tricky issues, listening carefully, thinking critically, and using sound judgement to resolve concerns
  • Working cross-functionally, escalating the right cases and collaborating with other teams to get things sorted quickly
  • Sharing feedback, helping us improve the way we support our members, reduce repeat contact, and build trust

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

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.
