Job summary

This is an exciting opportunity to begin a career in Customer Service. In this role, you will work as part of a fast-paced Customer Service team and also undertake a Level 3 Customer Service Specialist Apprenticeship. This is an exciting time to join the CSC as we develop how we deliver an enhanced customer experience for our wide range of customers, alongside a highly valued procurement service for low complexity procurement activities.
