Customer Hub
The Customer Hub is the first point of contact for all inbound customer enquiries, the majority of which are dealt with at first point of contact by the team. Our Hub Advisors are trained to be able to offer advice and guidance on a range of housing related issues and the calls that we receive can often be challenging or complex in nature. We have three specialised teams within the Hub, Repairs, Tenancy and Customer Experience with each team specialising in a range of tasks.
Additionally, this team carry out a wide and varied range of administrative tasks related to the delivery of our core landlord services. These include specialist tasks such as:
* Tenancy: processing rehousing housing applications, setting up payment plans for arrears
* Repairs: Repairs Planning, and Scheduling, Repairs Admin Tasks
* Customers: Dealing with digital transactions including social media, Complaints and MP and Councillor Enquiries.
We recognise that this is demanding role that extends beyond basic call handling and feel that the competitive salary reflects the complex nature of these positions.
