Role overview

As an organisation, we are looking for a better way to enhance service to our customers, respond faster, improve the efficiency of our operations and build more value for the over 600,000 contacts we interact with on an annual basis. To enable us achieve this, we would like you to:

  • Develop a bespoke customer service training programme whose content takes into account the changing nature of customers and customer service delivery (current and future technological developments)
  • Deliver a proposal that recognises the limited flexibility in customer service schedules
  • Deliver a customer service training programme that supports the corporate customer service objectives including: provision of a seamless customer experience, focus on increased income and engagement as well as impact, alignment between marketing, sales, operation teams and customer service
  • Deliver direct training to staff and build up training capacity within the network
  • Ensure there is demonstrable evidence of the impact of training interventions on metrics (financial and non-financial)
