Our Contact Centre is open between 6am to 11pm Monday to Sunday. We have a variety of working patterns created to suit you, including compressed shifts with up to 3 days off each week! For example: Monday to Friday 8am to 6pm one week, and then Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Sunday 8am-6pm the next. This shift offers an alternating pattern each week allowing you more freedom and flexibility on your days off. If successful in your application, an appropriate available shift pattern will be discussed with the team.
We operate a hybrid working environment, which means you will work at our office in Birmingham some of your time and then remotely from home. To be able to work from home, you will need to ensure you have a suitable office set up which includes a desk and a chair in a location which is free from the interruptions of day-to-day life. We will provide you with the technology required to do your role, but you’ll need to have a home Fibre Broadband connection with a minimum speed of 10MPS.
