What You’ll Be Doing?

The Customer Care team make sure home buyers receive the very best care following their home buying experience.

Being in a customer-facing role with us is a little bit different than most businesses. Our customers expect their homes to be of the highest standard, and you’ll make sure they are, by being on hand with answers and practical help. Because of the things you’ll be dealing with we look, ideally, for construction or building experience. More importantly than that though, is your passion for quality and professionalism.

Reporting to the Customer Care Operations Manager or Customer Care Manager, you will be the face of Customer Care within our customers' homes, providing a high level of customer care, being punctual for appointments and providing effective solutions to customer problems.

Responsibilities

• Take instruction from Customer Care Co‑ordinators/Administrators, ensuring all customer appointments are attended on time and any materials required are sourced prior to the appointment.
• Resolve defects in a speedy manner, to a high standard and to ensure all works completed are signed by the customer.
• Complete all required paperwork (timesheets) for submission to the Divisional offices, facilitating accurate record keeping.
• Carry out inspections of reported defects as and when required and issue a full report with photographs to the Customer Care Co‑ordinator/Administrator.
• Complete mileage forms, SHE forms, invoice forms and submit on the last day of the month.
• Report any recurrent defects on active and non‑active sites to the Customer Care Manager/Executive to discuss with the Commercial/Technical Director.

What You’ll Need

• Comprehensive knowledge of construction and ability to problem‑solve with defects, likely to come from a background in the trades (e.g. Painting, Decorating, Carpentry and Joinery).
• Excellent interpersonal skills and ability to deal with customers in a friendly and professional manner, and exhibit high service standards to ensure customer expectations are met.

Benefits

• Competitive Salary
• Competitive Bonus Scheme
• Private Medical Cover – Single Cover
• 26 days’ holiday (increase by 1 day for every 3 years’ continuous service up to 29 days)
• Choice of Flexible Benefits
• Enhanced Family Friendly Policies
