What is a Customer Service Advisor at SNG?

Our Customer Service Advisors are at the centre of what we do. The team is the first point of contact for our 140,000 customers. They rely on us to be there when they need support, and you will be owning and resolving their queries.

This role is in our alarm response centre operating a blue light service for our customers 24/7. As our Out of Hours Customer Service Advisor, you'll answer all inbound customer queries, and where required make outbound contacts with customers.

You'll offer support to queries in Housing, Repairs, Complaints, and all other business service areas as required, adhering to Call Quality guidelines and resolution. Due to the shift times and transport links to Greenham a full UK driver's license and your own transport is essential.

After training, there may be times when a lone night shift is required, and this could be to cover annual leave or staff absence; escalation support is available 24/7.

Shifts: Rota - shifts of 7am-3pm and 3pm-11pm, plus flexi shifts 1-9pm or 8am-4pm.

Please note: This role will be based on-site at our Greenham office, this role is not a hybrid role.
