About Hometree
Join Hometree Group and be at the forefront of transforming the residential energy landscape. Founded in 2015, Hometree began its journey in the home cover market. Today, We are spearheading the shift towards a future where home energy systems are decentralised, digitised, and reliant on renewable sources such as heat pumps, solar panels, batteries, EV chargers, and smart controls. This innovative approach is not just about sustainability; it's about empowering homeowners to manage their energy more efficiently and cost-effectively, thereby setting new standards in energy consumption.
We operate across three dynamic divisions:

At Hometree Group, we are committed to guiding UK homeowners on their journey towards more sustainable energy solutions, and we need passionate individuals to support them at every step.

The Role
Our Retentions team works hard to understand customers' reasons to leave the business - whether that’s because they think they can get a better price at Renewal by switching providers, where we haven’t quite got the service right or maybe the customer has cancelled their direct debit at the bank. The Retentions teams work on both inbound and outbound customer contacts to help support the business in retaining the customer at a point that they may be considering another option.
The team provides valuable feedback to the business on customers wants and needs, and what processes, service levels or offerings we may need to improve even further!
Success is defined by the speed in which the team successfully resolves our customers' reason to contact and ultimately their decision to stay! The team pride themselves on exceeding expectations, not sporadically, but for every customer, every time.
Responsibilities
Customer Communication:Engage with customers who are considering leaving, whether during their contract term or at the policy renewal stage, to discuss their options and address concerns.
Retention Opportunities:Identify and implement opportunities from customer discussions to encourage them to stay with Hometree.
Customer Journey Analysis:Investigate each customer’s journey to pinpoint and address areas of improvement.
Proactive Renewal Calls:Make outbound calls to customers whose policies are not set to renew automatically to ensure continuous home cover.
Payment Reinstatement:Contact customers who have canceled their direct debits to reinstate payments, reactivate policies, and restore peace of mind.
Pricing Negotiation:Negotiate pricing that balances value for the customer with Hometree’s business goals.
CRM and Pipeline Updates: Accurately log customer interactions, actions, and outcomes in the company’s CRM and pipelines.
Insight and Feedback: Provide valuable feedback on trends and areas needing improvement to reduce future cancellation risks.
What we’re looking for
Retention Experience: Experience working in customer service, especially in retention or ‘save’ roles.
Strong People Skills: You build rapport easily, deliver great service, and support your team.
Effective Communication: Clear, confident, and professional verbal and written communication skills.
Target-Driven Mindset: You’re motivated by achieving and surpassing targets and goals.
Problem-Solving Mindset: You’re naturally curious and always look for ways to improve and solve challenges.
Organised and Detail-Oriented: You’re disciplined and ensure that no detail is overlooked in delivering exceptional service.
Calm and Resilient Under Pressure
Team Collaboration: You enjoy working collaboratively to resolve customer issues and share best practices.
Tech-Savvy: You’re confident in working with multiple customer and online systems efficiently.
