Customer Services Advisor until Christmas 2024

Our Client has been established for over 150 years, and is passionate about the products they offer to their members (customers). These products become even more popular in the lead up to Christmas, and for that reason, they have to increase the number of staff within their Member Services team by 35 - 50 each year - just to deal with the sheer volume of orders coming in.

Please note, this is based on a slight shift rota - so you could start between 9 - 10 in the morning, and finish between 5 - 6 in the evening, plus you will be required to work at least one Saturday per month (with a day off in the week). Shifts are given two weeks in advance and you can swop with other team members if you need to.

The hourly rate for the job is £12.00 for all hours worked up to 37.5 each week.

A bonus of £1.00 per hour (contracted hours only) will be made to Advisers who do not have any time off during their contract. This will be paid in the final pay packet.
