You will work closely with the Head of Contact Centre to strive for efficiency across all areas of responsibility, identifying and implementing solutions to problems that act as obstacles to delivering a first class customer focused service.

You are passionate about leading staff to deliver an excellent customer experience by being easy, reliable and empathetic in the way they deal with customers and colleagues. You work relentlessly to identify and remove pain points and consistently lead others to do the same.You will have a proven track record of successfully leading a customer service team in a contact centre and significant experience of a high profile customer services role with an understanding of a call centre approach to service delivery and contact centre metrics and methodology.

 You must be able to manage all aspects of a customer focused team, including supporting, developing and motivating staff, budgetary control and planning services. You will use your excellent verbal, written, presentation, facilitation and IT skills to build positive relationships with internal stakeholders, suppliers, specialist contractors and other departments to deliver ‘right first time’ solutions to customers.
