The Role
NEXT is dynamic and constantly evolving, reaching a global community of over 8 million customers. As our Home department continues to grow, we are looking for Customer Service Advisors to join the team at our Leicester contact centre.
In this role, you will take ownership of furniture calls and complaints, providing the support our customers rely on and solutions that ensure our customers always come first.
It is a fast-paced environment where we use our ‘Let’s take it on’ mindset to support millions of people worldwide. You’ll be part of a knowledgeable team dedicated to ensuring every customer feels heard and valued.
What You’ll Take On
In this role, you will focus on delivering helpful, high-quality service without the pressure of sales targets. You will have the autonomy to make decisions and provide solutions across calls, emails, web chats & WhatsApps. You will manage a variety of queries, from pre-purchase questions to after-sales care. If something hasn’t gone to plan, you’ll take ownership to fix it as quickly and efficiently as possible. Whether you are answering a question about a faulty sofa or an issue with a delivery, your mission is to ensure every query is resolved while delivering an incredible customer experience.
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.
