Scope

As a Customer Service Advisor, you will be at the frontline, delivering exceptional service to our families and ensuring their needs are handled professionally and efficiently. You’ll play a vital role in representing the company when a customer has a query or complaint. Since customer care and retention are fundamental to our business, we need a dedicated, personable advisor to support our families when they need it most.

In this role, you will listen actively to customer concerns, provide accurate information to resolve issues, and demonstrate empathy, especially when dealing with difficult situations. You’ll be the first point of contact, and your responses will shape our families’ experiences with us.

Key Responsibilities

• Respond to customer queries and complaints via phone and email with empathy and understanding.
• Escalate complaints that require further attention to the Customer Experience Manager.
• Track customer queries and complaints using the company’s call log process.

What Success Looks Like

Success in this role means consistently providing high-quality customer service, ensuring that every family you interact with leaves with a positive experience. You will effectively handle enquiries and complaints, contributing to high Net Promoter Score (NPS) and satisfaction ratings. Achieving key contact centre metrics, such as response rates, enquiry handling, and reducing low review ratings, will also be indicators of success. By working collaboratively with the Family Care Team and Nursery Managers, you will resolve issues promptly, and your suggestions will help improve the overall customer experience.
