Build your career in customer support
We’re looking for a bright, motivated person who wants to start or change their career in customer support.
You don’t need previous experience in a dedicated support role. We’re looking for someone who communicates exceptionally well, enjoys solving problems and takes pride in doing things properly.
flatfair is a small, growing business. We test ideas, learn from what works and look for practical ways to make things better. You’ll be encouraged to ask questions, share ideas and take ownership of your work.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll help renters and letting agents use flatfair’s products, supporting people who may be confused, frustrated or under pressure.
You’ll learn on the job through a mixture of online learning, shadowing, supported practice and regular feedback. As your knowledge and confidence develop, you’ll take increasing responsibility for:
- Supporting customers by email, live chat and telephone
- Listening carefully and responding with patience and empathy
- Explaining information clearly and adapting your approach to different customers
- Checking applications and identifying missing or inconsistent information
- Investigating problems and finding practical solutions
- Taking ownership of queries and following agreed actions through to completion
- Managing your workload across different queues and priorities
- Keeping clear and accurate records
- Working closely with colleagues to resolve issues and share what you learn
- Suggesting improvements when you spot a better way of doing something
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.
What we’re looking for
You’ll need:
- Evidence of strong academic achievement or an equivalent ability to understand and apply new information
- Excellent spoken and written English, including accurate grammar and clear, confident verbal communication
- The ability to listen carefully, understand what someone needs and respond with empathy
- Strong problem-solving skills and the curiosity to understand how and why something has happened
- Good judgement and attention to detail
- The ability to organise your workload and stay productive
- A willingness to take ownership and see work through
- The confidence to ask questions, contribute ideas and challenge something constructively
- The resilience to remain calm and helpful when a customer is frustrated
- An open approach to feedback and a genuine interest in learning
Experience dealing with people through work, volunteering or extracurricular activities would be useful, but previous customer support experience isn’t required.
Working at flatfair
We’re a close-knit team, so how you work matters as much as what you achieve.
We value people who are willing to try new approaches, stay connected with their colleagues, take responsibility and make others feel welcome. You’ll receive support as you learn, and we’ll expect you to prepare, ask questions, apply feedback and become increasingly independent over time.
