Following training, your hours will reduce to approximately 17 hours per week, covering a mixture of weekday evenings and daytime or evening weekend shifts.

• Keeping the company database accurate and up to date
• Providing a consistently high standard of customer service across all communications

You will ideally be:

• Confident and professional when speaking on the telephone
• An excellent verbal and written communicator
• Calm and composed when dealing with unexpected situations
