Job Description

HOMEWORKING but must be based within commutable distance to Nottingham City Centre

Are you on the lookout for a new position that offers remote working? Do you want to work for a company that supports work life balance? If so, we may have the opportunity you have been looking for.

Here at Domestic & General our priority has been to support our employees through the recent challenges COVID-19 has presented, whilst still providing an excellent service journey for our customers. We are now excited to be recruiting our next Customer Support Advisor intake within our Repair & Protect department, that will initially be fully home based. We have changed how we recruit and onboard, so your journey with us will now be fully virtual, giving you the flexibility but still the full engaging experience that you deserve.

About the Role

As a Customer Support Advisor in our Repair & Protect team, you will be the first point of contact for customers who have a fault with an appliance, that is no longer covered by a manufacturers guarantee. Using exceptional customer service skills, you'll gain a full understanding of the customers issue in order to provide the most suitable solution for repair. You'll also have the opportunity to support other areas of the business, such as our Registrations department, where you will receive calls from customers who wish to register their new appliances.

In both cases, you will be working in partnership with our clients and other brands, to make customers aware of additional products they can purchase for added peace of mind, whilst focusing on achieving sales targets and KPI's.

Please note that this role will be home based initially, with the potential for a mix of office and home-based working in the future. You will therefore need to live within a commutable distance, from our office in the Nottingham city centre.

This department has flexible shift patterns based on a 37.5-hour contract, between the opening hours below. The Recruitment team will be happy to discuss these in more detail should you be shortlisted for telephone interview.

  • Monday - Friday: 08:00 - 20:00
  • Saturday - 08:00 - 18:00
  • Sunday - 09:00 - 18:00

We'll take care of providing the equipment you need before you start, but you must have broadband access.

About You:

  • You will have proven experience in a home-based position or a similar role where you have worked autonomously. Previous targeted sales or customer service experience is a must.
  • A skilled and driven customer service and sales professional.
  • You'll thrive on beating and exceeding sales targets and have strong sales skills - but you'll always make sure that the customer's interests come first.
  • You understand the customer's perspective and have a natural ability to build a strong rapport and demonstrate empathy when needed through your excellent communication skills.
  • You'll be a confident multi-tasker who can hit multiple targets whilst being resilient and show a great team spirit!

Salary & Bonuses

  • A highly competitive £18,850 starting salary with a pay increase after six months to £20,857
  • Bonus earning potential of up to £420 per month, earned through a combination of strong sales performance, excellent customer service and call quality
  • For all our Agents, we ensure the salary and bonus opportunity are balanced and for our highest performing Agents there is an opportunity to earn higher rates of salary and additional bonus based on performance
