Join us on our journey to a brighter future. By working together with each other and with our communities, we can take pride in improving lives.  Let’s make a better Barnsley for everyone.

 

Your role in our journey

 

As a Customer Service Advisor, you will respond to a wide range of customer enquiries received through multiple access channels, including telephony, webchat, and social media, analysing and interpreting information from the customer accurately and making appropriate decisions from a variety of options.  You’ll listen carefully, speak positively, and ensure the customer receives an efficient, friendly, courteous and helpful experience.  You will be able to manage difficult conversations in a calm and professional manner.  In line with our Strategies, you will positively promote the use of the council’s digital and self-service options.

To join us; you’ll need 4 GCSEs (9-4) or equivalent, or a relevant level 2 qualification. You will have experience of working with members of the public and the ability to work flexibly, independently and as part of a team, using own initiative for minor decisions.  You will have experience in providing advice and guidance to members of the public and the ability to work in a constantly changing, high volume contact centre. You will be digitally confident and adept in the use of online resources, able to handle and process information ensuring accuracy and confidentiality.

With a positive ‘can do’ attitude and the ability to communicate clearly and effectively with a diverse range of people in sensitive situations, it is your professional manner and engaging interpersonal skills that set you apart.
