Customer Service Advisor/ Financial Services

Customer Service Advisor/ Financial Services – Worcester – 5 days onsite

Job description
We are recruiting for a Customer Service Advisor/ Financial Services to join our client, in their Insurance team. This is an 8 weeks contract opportunity, offering an excellent day rate of £190, employed via an Umbrella company.

About the role:
You'll be the voice for customers who need impound cover. That means taking inbound calls, web chats and emails from people who have found us online, understanding their situation, and getting them the right policy so they can collect their car – usually the same day.
Our customers already need what we offer; your job is to make the process easy, answer questions honestly, handle the documents and payment accurately, and follow up on quotes that haven't converted. You'll also deal with post-sale queries: policy documents, amendments, proof of insurance for the compound, cancellations and the occasional complaint.

Key responsibilities include;
Explaining policy terms, exclusions and pricing in plain English so customers can make an informed decision
Collecting and checking customer information and documents (licence, V5C, proof of address, seizure notice) accurately and in line with insurer requirements
Processing payments and issuing policy documents promptly
Following up outstanding quotes and abandoned online applications
Dealing with mid-term adjustments, cancellations, refunds and general customer service queries
Recognising signs of potential fraud or ghost broking and escalating appropriately
Logging calls, notes and outcomes accurately in our systems
Handling initial complaints in line with our complaints procedure and escalating where needed
Meeting individual and team targets for conversion, call quality and customer satisfaction
Contributing ideas to improve our processes, scripts and customer journey
About you:
Experience in a customer-facing sales or service role (phone-based experience is a strong advantage)
Confident, clear and calm on the phone, able to reassure people who are stressed or frustrated
Good attention to detail, particularly with personal data, documents and payments
Comfortable working to targets and handling a high volume of enquiries
Able to explain things simply and honestly, including when the answer isn't what the customer wants to hear
Good written English for emails and live chat
Competent with standard office software and quick to learn new systems
