City and Guilds Training is looking for a Course Advisor to add to our existing team.
If you have excellent customer service skills and a great telephone manner, then this opportunity may be what you are looking for.
This is a great role to join our rapidly growing business.
Successful candidates will become a part of our friendly team located in our offices in Crawley / Gatwick.
You will be responsible for providing first-class customer-focused interactions, advising on our courses, and booking clients to the course that is appropriate for them and that suits their needs.
This is a permanent position with a starting salary of £25K and a generous bonus which can add an additional 20-35% to your salary.
The Course Advisor role is a mix of inbound and outbound calling, but it is not a cold calling role. All customers are either existing clients or customers who have previously contacted our business.
We are interested in speaking to candidates who have a passion for great customer service and are results-driven. We are looking for candidates with experience from a similar, ideally telephone-based role, who would like to develop their sales and customer service skills further here at City & Guilds. This role can help you develop into a more senior sales/account management role.
This appointment will be made on merit.
Please note, this is an office-based role. As you will be required to work from the office, please check the location and ensure that you can commute to our offices located in Crawley RH10 9JY on a daily basis.
