Our first point of contact for many of our customers is the Customer Service Hub in which we have a vacancy for a Customer Service Representative.
The role involves responding to a wide range of enquiries in relation to council services. Knowledge of council services is desirable but not essential as full training will be given.

To provide the highest level of customer service, you should have experience of working in a busy, customer-focused or contact centre environment. You should have excellent verbal and written communication and IT skills. You will have excellent customer care and call handling skills, with the ability to take ownership for the decisions you make and work effectively as part of a team. You should demonstrate a flexible approach to work, an ability to prioritise tasks and a willingness to learn and evolve with the service as it develops.
An SVQ2/Higher/National 5 or equivalent level qualification is essential. A customer care qualification is desirable.
