City & Guilds is looking for people to help us unleash tomorrow’s talent – both in yourself as well as others. It’s not entirely about if you have the right experience – as we can teach you – but it is about if you have the right attitude to succeed.
We have expanded our Customer Service Department in our Wakefield office, therefore we have a number of Customer Service Advisor roles to recruit for. We need people to help us lead the change and give our customers the excellent service they expect from us.
If this interests you, we will be holding a Talent Event on Friday 2nd March 2018. Just to put you at ease, this isn’t an intense assessment, it is a relaxed event, where you’ll have the opportunity to learn about us and equally we can learn more about you too.
About the Role
As a Customer Service Advisor you’ll work closely with colleagues in your team; helping our customers over the phone and via email, in an environment where customer care and service quality is second to none and will be passionate and committed to delivering an excellent customer experience with each and every interaction.
You’ll need to be able to work flexibly and take every opportunity to “wow” our customers, by meeting – if not exceeding – service standards. Making sure that you maintain the high standards that drive our brand, you’ll share your knowledge and understanding, and manage yourself against agreed service standards.
These are full time roles, working 35 hours a week between the hours of 0800 and 1800, Monday to Friday. We have three different fixed “shift” patterns – 0800 to 1600, 0900 to 1700, and 1000 to 1800.
About You
You may not have advisory experience, but to succeed as a Customer Service Advisor you’ll need to be a great team player and must have the proven ability to deliver great customer service, both over the telephone and via email.
We need you to:
•Have a high level of attention to detail.
•Be passionate about developing yourself.
•Be committed to working to the highest standards.
•Have excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and be fully confident and comfortable with using technology in a customer service environment.

Next Steps
If this still sounds exciting and you think you’re just the person for the job and you can attend on Friday 2nd March 2018. We would love to hear from you!
As part of the application we will send you one of our game based exercises to complete separately, which is fun and interactive. This will enable us to see if you have some of the skills and behaviours you need to succeed within our organisation.
