Salary: £19500

The role will be offered as a 12-month fixed term contract.

Hours: 37.5 hours Monday to Friday between the hours of 8am to 6pm.

Home based at present due to COVID19, however training will be office based at our city centre Manchester office.

We want to attract and retain the best people we can and help them grow with us which is why our aim is for Capita to be an exceptional place to work. We’re constantly striving to ensure that our people are proud and happy to work here.

What you'll do

The job primarily involves answering calls from policyholders, financial advisors and other professionals who require information about our client’s policies. Where needed, you could also be completing administration work.

In a typical day you will be providing general information about a broad range of financial products, checking the status of claims and resolving complaints. Some of the callers may be unsure of the information they require and your task will be to guide and advise them on a solution. This will involve navigating systems on the computer to find general information or communicating with other departments to send out further information.

The basic nature of the role means that you will spend entire shifts on the phone dealing with a series of calls, which are fundamentally similar in purpose. Training is 6-8 weeks and full time hours.

What we are looking for:

• Previous experience in a customer service role
• A genuine passion for helping people
• Confident communicator with a professional and friendly manner
• Excellent listening skills and an ability to problem solve
• A fast learner with an attention to detail
• The ability to work under pressure and prioritise workload
• Someone who is punctual and reliable
