As part of the Emergency Team, you'll be handling inbound calls from both customers and suppliers, ensuring swift action in metering emergencies, be it gas or electric.

Working closely with our field operatives and managers, you'll be the bridge between urgency and solution, ensuring timely resolutions for all emergencies. But it's not all about the quick fixes, you'll also manage supplier escalations, learn about the gas and electricity industry, and collaborate with different departments to ensure everything runs smoothly.

You'll have the flexibility to handle emergencies from the comfort of your own home with our hybrid setup and visit our Wigan call centre HQ twice a week. What's more, your efforts won't go unnoticed – you'll earn a competitive annual salary of £26,520.

- A solid educational background (at least GCSE level).
- Proven experience in a customer service role, preferably in a fast-paced call centre environment.
- Ability to follow documented procedures and guidelines meticulously.
- Strong problem-solving skills and the capability to make quick and effective decisions.
- Ability to effectively communicate with customers and suppliers in high-pressure situations, demonstrating empathy and professionalism.
- Preferably understand the electricity and gas industry processes or have a willingness to learn and adapt quickly.
- Proactive team player with the ability to collaborate with different departments and field managers effectively.
- Flexibility to work from home with a hybrid setup after completing training, with a requirement to attend the office 5 days per week during the training period, and willingness to visit the Wigan call centre HQ at least 2 days a week post-training.
