The role

This is a really interesting role where you can dig deep into individual customers queries and use your initiative to turn around their situation.

As part of the Customer Experience Contact Centre Team, you'll process rent payments, answer rent enquiries and negotiate affordable and sustainable payment plans with our customers by providing support, advice, and signposting customers to our tenancy and money management advice teams.

As with any role it doesn't come without its challenges, so you'll need to be prepared to tackle some difficult situations.

You'll be trusted to help people in a way that you'd like to be helped, all whilst playing your part to help YH achieve its ambitious strategic goals.

You'll be part of a supportive team but it's important to mention that a large proportion of this role will be home-based, so you need to be comfortable with this way of working.

You'll prioritise and book in repairs, helping customers to diagnose faults and where possible fix it on the phone.

Also, you'll discuss neighbourhood queries, record and advise on Anti-social behaviour and offer guidance and advice to help customers maintain their tenancy.

Great communication skills are essential, as a large part of your day will be spent on the telephone talking to people.

You'll have an inquisitive mind and take a flexible attitude towards resolving problems to a successful conclusion. You'll be empowered to take ownership and responsibility of customer queries.

But most of all, we want to hear from people who are passionate about customer service, possess a strong work ethic and a flexible approach.

We will of course provide you with a full and comprehensive training plan, so if you have the confidence, systems skills and a willingness to learn that's perfect
