    • The right candidate will have excellent customer service skills to support our vulnerable customers in a cost-of-living crisis.
    • We're constantly improving our processes and systems to best support our customers, so you'll go through upskill training activity regularly to support you through this
    • We're in the midst of changing our billing system for customers, which means that at some point you'll go through a period of training once our customers have moved from one system to the other
    • We're committed to embedding a culture of Continuous Improvement by identifying and implementing small changes in our day-to-day roles which will improve the customer and colleague experience

    The skills we need from you

    • Your absolute passion and flair for delivering amazing customer service should be one of your motivational drivers
    • Speaking to customers all day can be difficult, especially when they may be struggling to afford their energy costs, so we need resilient people with lots of energy and enthusiasm to deal with the different types of enquiries we receive every day
    • Patience and understanding when speaking to customers who have been impacted by the cost-of-living crisis
    • You'll handle customer cases during your day, so your time management and organisational skills need to be on point
    • This department is super-fast paced and, at times, can be high pressure so your resilience, agility and ownership skills are key to this role
    • To respond positively and support yourself through change in an ever-evolving energy market
    • You should have fantastic communication skills both written and verbal, and we'll be assessing these skills throughout our recruitment and training process
    • You'll need to be digitally savvy as you will be working across multiple complex systems
    • Providing the right solution first time is a key focus of in all roles to ensure we deliver against our promises
    • We ask you to be courageous and creative with your ideas to improve the customer journey and our processes that support this
    • You'll also need the confidence to escalate any issues or process improvements to the wider business areas

    What else you'll need:

    When you work from home you will need a reliable broadband speed. We ask that it's at least 10mbps download and similar upload speed. You'll also need a suitable home working environment (we'll provide the computer equipment, but you will need a suitable desk space with no interruptions or distractions).

    Let's talk benefits

    • Private Medical Cover
    • Holiday Allowance - 25 days holiday per year + bank holidays
    • Life Assurance
    • Contributory pension
    • A superb selection of fabulous flexible benefits
    • Occasional office commute - that's got to be good for your wallet and the planet
    • Opportunity to develop your skills for future career development.

    You'll need the Right to Work in the UK so a passport or a birth certificate and proof of National Insurance are essential. A credit check will be arranged to ensure you meet our employment criteria. We'll also ask you to complete a Basic Disclosure Check and of course we'll collect your previous employment references as standard.

    "As part of our selection process to find the best people to join our team, when you apply for this role you will be asked to complete an online mandatory situational judgement exercise. This is to help us assess your suitability in terms of drive and capability for the demands of the role."
