Position: Customer Care Adviser
Location: Hybrid Working - Kirkstall Forge, Leeds
Permanent – Full Time (37.5 hours per week)
Customer Care Team, Bupa Care Services
Salary: £25,000 + Uncapped Monthly Bonus Scheme
Opening Hours: Monday to Friday (08:00 – 18:30) & Saturday (09:00 – 12:30)
What are we looking for?
When is a contact centre not a contact centre? Well, for us, it’s when you do more than just take calls and process enquiries. In the Bupa Customer Care Team, we want you to be able to spend time having a caring and customer focused conversation. We want you to feel empowered to guide your caller through their search for a Care Home.
You’ll be able to empathise and build a great rapport with your customers, being with them every step of the way. You’ll be there from their initial call, right through to their loved one moving into one of our Care Homes.
Some of our enquirers need care for a loved one immediately, others are planning for the future, so you’ll build up a caseload of enquiries and support them by keeping in touch throughout their journey.
Things don’t stop with delivering an outstanding customer experience though. We believe in working together as one, so you’ll also have opportunities to be involved in driving our department forward, ensuring we always exceed customer expectations when interacting with us.

We pride ourselves on working with brilliant people who put our customers at the heart of everything they do.

The Role
This fantastic opportunity is for a small number of individuals who have a passion for delivering an exceptional, yet personalised customer experience. In return for your desire for success, we’ll make sure you receive all the training and coaching you need to fit right into our team.
As well as a competitive starting salary of £25,000 you’ll be eligible for our uncapped monthly bonus scheme which is based on your personal performance.
You’ll be based at our Kirkstall Forge office in Leeds but have the flexibility to work from home too. You’ll have a permanent contract working 37.5 hours per week within our opening hours of Monday to Friday 08:00 – 18:30 and Saturday 09:00 – 12:30.
What’ll you will need to succeed.
- Love what you do. If you enjoy helping others and have a drive for being the best you can be, you’re already halfway there!
- Be confident in leading a telephone conversation through many emotions. Our callers can be everything from upset and not knowing which way to turn, through to happy, upbeat, and ready to have a good old chat about what’s going on in their life right now.
- Determined, proactive attitude. We want you to provide an outstanding level of service, but we’ll also reward you based on your personal performance. One of these elements will be the number of enquirers you guide through an enquiry to admission into our Care Homes
