Multichannel Customer Service (Digital and Telephony)
Do you have fantastic people skills? Do you possess strong skills in both written and verbal communication? Can you deliver a great customer experience?!
Working Hours/ Shift Patterns: You will work 37.5 hours per week including 3-4 weekends out of 8. If you work a weekend shift, you'll get time off in lieu.
Our opening hours: Monday to Friday 08:00 - 19:00, Saturday 09:00 - 17:00 and Sunday 09:00 - 13:00
Training: The core training lasts for the first 4 weeks and is delivered in person at the office. You'll continue working onsite through to week 10 to reinforce your learning and build confidence. After this period, you'll need approval from a trainer or team leader before transitioning to hybrid working.
Our approach to Hybrid Working: With hybrid working, you have more flexibility, as you usually only have to visit our office once a week and work remotely for the rest of the time. You can always opt to work from the office more frequently if that suits you better. When we organise training and events you may be required to attend in person for the duration.
Salary: The starting salary is £25,150 plus benefits. Upon completing the training and coaching period which usually takes 12 weeks, the salary will automatically increase to £25,500. There will be opportunities for further salary progression to £27,500, which can be achieved in as little as 12-months with the right focus on personal development.
Location: Our fantastic Leicester office, which is in the city centre and only a short walk from the train station.
At Hastings Direct, we have a simple ambition - to be the best and biggest digital insurance provider in the UK. Our customer teams communicate with thousands of customers daily through various channels and delivering the high-quality insurance service they deserve.
Your role:
Our Digital Operations department is searching for a Customer Representative to manage digital and telephony communications with our customers. In this role you'll be the first point of contact for our customers across multiple platforms including the messengers service via the app, over the phone and live chat.
You will support customers with various inquiries, ranging from providing information about our products and policies to making adjustments, adding products, and renewing their insurance with us. Initially, you will be interacting with customers via our Messenger App, carefully reviewing their history and checking policy details within our systems to identify the appropriate solution. There may be instances when a phone call is more appropriate to ensure we reach the best outcome for our customers.

As a Disability Confident employer, we're committed to ensuring our recruitment processes are fully inclusive - what this means to you is if you're applying for a job with us, you'll have fair access to support and adjustments throughout your recruitment journey. For this position, we're regrettably unable to accept applications through the Disability Confident Scheme (DCS) due to the extremely high volumes of applications we receive. However, what we put in place for these positions instead in order to remove barriers is an opportunity for all candidates to complete first stage assessments, in the form of some online exercises, which we can also provide adjustments for on a case by case basis. For more information on the DCS, please visit our inclusive business page on our careers site.
Hastings Group is an equal opportunities employer which means we treat people fairly. We welcome applications from all suitably skilled persons regardless of their gender, age, race, disability, ethnic background, religion/belief, sexual orientation, gender reassignment or marital/family status. Please also note that we have a thorough referencing process, which includes credit and criminal record checks.
