Hello, we're UW
We're the UK's only genuine multi-service provider, providing energy, broadband, mobile and home insurance.

Our goal is to double in size over the next five years so we need lots more great people to join us in our journey.

Everybody matters at UW.

We embrace different perspectives, life experiences and personalities in an inclusive environment where people can have fun and grow together.

Although we're a FTSE 250 company and have been around for 25 years, we still have a small company feel and the culture of a start-up.

You'll be joining a bunch of genuinely friendly people who love working together and really want to make a difference.

The role - be the voice of UW

This is a fantastic opportunity for you to join a new and innovative customer services team working out of our brand new hub in Selkirk.

This new team has been set up to support our Energy Prepayment customers with their UW journey. Your role is crucial in providing that phenomenal customer experience the way that only UW can.

We'll utilise your feedback to evolve the ways of working and develop the operating model of the team.

A truly exciting time to join such a fantastic team and be involved in shaping how it will look moving forward.

What you'll do

You'll utilise your problem solving and communication skills to support our prepayment customers through all queries and concerns that come up.

You'll be required to handle what may at times be challenging customer queries but queries that you will own through to resolution, keeping the customer informed at all times.

We won't lie - it's not always an easy role. The current climate of the Energy market means you'll be having lots of difficult conversations.

You'll need to be willing to deal with challenging and vulnerable customers, there is a lot to learn and things are always changing.

But we'll give you all the training you need when you join and then once you are part of a team, you'll have people around you for continued learning and encouragement.

Who we're looking for
You'll be passionate about the UW brand, able to live and breathe the principles of exceptional customer service.

We're looking for passionate customer obsessed advisors that have a positive can-do attitude, with self drive for resolving issues and queries for our customers ensuring their onboarding journey is as seamless as possible.
