Job Description
Can you show kindness, patience, and compassion for customers who are struggling? Are you innately calm and easy to talk to? Does wording difficult news in the right way come naturally to you? Then you could be our next Customer Assistant.
This role is located in Binley Business Park, Coventry CV3, and is full-time 37.5hrs/week by rota, so we can meet the needs of all kinds of people living all kinds of lives.
Working in our collections team means dealing daily with customers who might be facing financial difficulty, and coming up against issues that can put customers in debt, such as fraud and scams. Our client, a well-established UK building society, prides itself on being built by the people for the people, and we uphold these ethics in everything we do for our customers, through the good times and the bad.
If you've worked in call centres before, or even done customer service work before, you probably wonder what makes us any different? Here at TSYS, we are categorically the best at providing customer service solutions for our clients - and our recent victory at the Card and Payments Awards shows just that!
Not only are we recognised across the board for our excellent customer service, we also take pride in recognising our staff. We would never have received such praise had it not been for our amazing teams, and that's why we offer excellent benefits, a fun workplace with a smart-casual dress code, regular events such as Summer and Christmas parties and staff recognition days, awards and certificates recognising staff attributes, and, what's better, over half of all our roles are filled internally. Your next job could be with us, but so could your next job after that! We don't just offer a job, we offer a career, new experiences, and lifelong friendships. What are you waiting for?
