Customer Service Advisor

Rydon’s dynamic, supportive, fun and vibrant inbound Contact Centre is packed full of outgoing and friendly people. We're currently looking for a Customer Service Advisor to join our team.

Rydon Maintenance is an expanding division of the Rydon Group and is successfully providing facilities management services to a variety of clients, predominantly within the healthcare and housing association sectors.

The Rydon group operates throughout England, predominantly in London and the southern counties. We are a dynamic, multi-talented organisation, working across a wide range of construction market sectors within the built environment. Rydon has established a strong reputation for the quality within our new-build and maintenance sectors, creating and improving communities for the benefit of current and future generations. For over 40 years, we've recruited talented and innovative people to build and maintain homes, schools, hospitals, student accommodation and more. We combine a personal touch with outstanding technical expertise to deliver award-winning, quality facilities for local communities with a commitment from people who are passionate about what they do.

As a Customer Service Advisor you'll be taking inbound calls from our customers reporting repairs and providing an excellent customer experience on every call. You will be trained to provide technical advice to residents to help diagnose faults and to raise repair appointment requests where a trained engineer is required to carry out the repair. You will make sure customers feel like the number one priority and are fully informed throughout the repairs process. To succeed in this role, you don't need to be an expert in building repair or maintenance, we're looking for great communicators with a pro-active approach and high attention to detail. Whether you’re new to working in a contact centre, or a seasoned pro, we’ll help you reach your potential.

What training and career progression is on offer?

For your first three months the role will focus on training and developing your skills in customer service, and in developing a basic technical knowledge to help you begin to diagnose repair needs. We offer a competitive starting salary, along with excellent benefits. All of our Customer Service Advisor roles take inbound calls only, there is no cold calling required and working hours are between Monday to Friday 8am - 5pm.

After you have successfully completed your first three months with the company you will enter the next stage of your development. As part of the proceeding months you will receive further training and development, aimed at further enhancing your buildings/repairs knowledge and be able to work on more complex calls -  this is the start of your customer service career.

What we can offer you as Customer Service Advisor

• A clear pay structure starting with a competitive salary of £24,862 per annum based on 40 hours per week.
• You will have the opportunity to progress your way through our structured grading programme. There are four grades of role and with your increased knowledge and responsibility you will have the opportunity to increase your salary in line with your development.
• 25 days holiday

• Regular department incentives with amazing prizes to be won

To join our fun and energetic team all you need is a passion for great customer service, good communication skills, be self-motivated with a great personality and have the ability to work as part of a team. Previous experience of working in a contact centre is not necessary, though you will need to demonstrate great communication skills, along with good keyboard skills, good attention to detail and enjoy talking to customers on the phone. You will also have the ability to take ownership of and creatively solve problems.

If you are interested in joining a diverse and growing company and want to work for a company which will support your personal development then we look forward to hearing from you.
