- Make outbound calls to proactively contact tenants with pending charges
- Support the end of tenancy process by validating charges, auditing the required documentation and documenting next steps as required
- Build an expert knowledge of our processes and workflows
- Work as part of the Customer Support team and liaise with other departments within the business to ensure we provide the best service to our customers
About you
You'll receive plenty of training and development when you start in the role so here's what we look for in our Customer Support team.
- Previous experience providing customer service over the phone and email
- Empathy for our customers with a genuine desire to offer the best possible outcomes for them
- Self-motivated individuals that take pride in what they do, are accountable for their own work and own their learning plan
- Someone comfortable with change, able to adapt quickly and show resilience

Development & progression
We have a clear structure for growth in the Customer Support team. You'll develop skills to retain our customers, strengthen your communication style and improve our product as we continue to grow. There are also lots of opportunities to continue your career either in Customer Support or across the business. Whatever your future holds, we'll work with you on the best options to put you on the right track.
