Call Handler
Do you enjoy helping people, solving problems and being part of a supportive team where no two days are the same?
If you're looking for an opportunity to build your customer service skills, develop your career and make a real difference to customers, we'd love to hear from you.
You'll be joining us as a Call Handler within our Customer Experience team, supporting a range of Government clients. As the first point of contact for customers contacting our helpdesk, you'll play a key role in delivering an excellent service, resolving queries and ensuring customers receive the support they need. Working alongside Team Leaders and experienced colleagues, you'll be part of a collaborative and welcoming team that prides itself on knowledge sharing, recognition and continuous improvement.
This is a hybrid role based in Newport. You'll work from the office on Thursdays and Fridays, with the remainder of the week working remotely. You'll join a team that values engagement, wellbeing and development, with regular social activities, volunteering opportunities and initiatives that bring colleagues together. From team challenges and charity events to wellbeing campaigns and celebrations throughout the year, there's always something happening.
We actively encourage career development and offer a range of learning opportunities, including professional courses, Yellow Belt training and management development programmes, helping you build your skills and progress your career.
