Description
Do you have a passion for helping others and supporting the growth of our business? Are you confident in your communication skills, have excellent active listening and able to speak to a varied customer base both verbal and written - Can you deliver an exceptional customer experience every time?
If so, we’d love to hear from you! Join our Renewals team and be the first point of contact for our customers during their renewal with us.
Working Hours/ Shift Patterns: You will work 37.5 hours per week including 3-4 weekends out of 8. If you work a weekend shift, you’ll get time off in the week.
Our opening hours: Monday to Friday 08:00 - 19:00, Saturday 09:00 – 17:00 and Sunday 09:00 – 13:00
Training: Our 12-week training programme is delivered face to face in the office.
The first 8 weeks focus on core learning, followed by continued in‑office support through to week 12 as you build confidence and embed your skills. After completing the full programme, you’ll receive sign‑off from a trainer or team leader before moving to hybrid working and into your permanent team.
Holiday Allowance During Training: To ensure you gain the maximum benefit from our training programme and feel fully supported as you begin your career, holiday will be limited during the initial training period. One day of holiday is permitted within the first 4 weeks. From weeks 5 to 12, holiday requests will be reviewed on a case‑by‑case basis.
Our approach to Hybrid Working: With hybrid working, you have more flexibility, as you usually only have to visit our office once a week and work remotely for the rest of the time. You can always opt to work from the office more frequently if that suits you better. When we organise training and events you may be required to attend in person for the duration.
Salary: The starting salary is £26,230, plus a comprehensive benefits package. Upon completing the training and coaching period, which typically lasts 12 weeks, the salary will automatically increase to £26,550. There will be further opportunities for salary progression up to £29,500, depending on your commitment to personal development and career growth.
