As the UK’s leading vehicle rental specialists, we make a commitment to keep our customers mobile, that’s what we do.

Responsibilities

As a Customer Service Agent, you expertly bring to life the Northgate experience, managing the needs of customers, colleagues and managers to ensure our vehicles are where we need them to be, when we need them to be there.

Our branches are busy, fast-paced places to be and, as a Customer Service Agent, you will be right at the very centre of it. You’re often the first point of contact for customers; so confidently delivering a great service with a smile is second nature. Where you really excel is in managing more than one task at a time - from sourcing vehicles so you can say yes to booking, resolving a customer rental query, administration of a customer account or overseeing the daily vehicle movements in and out of branch.

You don’t need any previous industry or vehicle rental administration experience to join our team (our proven induction training will take care of that) but you’ll need all of your customer service know-how, administration skill and most importantly your calm, ‘can-do’ attitude (along with a Full UK or EU Driving Licence, of course!) to get things done.

Qualifications

As a Customer Service Agent with Northgate Vehicle Hire, we offer:

We offer a great base salary with a comprehensive benefits package. Minimum requirements include customer service experience, strong administration skills and a calm, can-do attitude. A Full UK or EU Driving Licence is required.

• A fantastic quarterly bonus scheme (up to £1,387 pa OTE)
• Start with 24 days, increasing to 26 days with service, plus the flexibility to buy or sell up to 5 extra days each year. You’ll also have public holidays and an extra day off to celebrate your birthday!
• free life assurance (2x your salary)
• well-being services (incl. 24/7 GP service, mental health support and physiotherapy + Health Cash Plan, Dental Plan & Travel Insurance)
• exclusive colleague-only vehicle-leasing schemes
• pension & save-as-you-earn share scheme
• Our Benefits App offering unlimited access to a huge range of retailer discounts and cashback deals (incl. Tesco, Asda, Currys, B&Q & Wickes to name just a few)
• Stream App for all our colleagues - a Financial Wellbeing app that gives you more control over your pay.
