What you’ll be doing :

Reporting directly to the Business Support Team Leader, you’ll provide essential administrative support to our Customer Roadside Network and Patrol Services.

It always feels good helping people when they need it most. Taking calls, helping customers with queries, finding the right insurance product for their lifestyle. Helping to keep people safe on the roadside when their vehicle breaks down. Being a reassuring presence when someone needs to make a claim. Our contact centre teams give customers all kinds of support. It can get busy but the culture, training and friendly teams are great here.

Deliver expert administrative support across Customer Operations Network and Patrol teams.

Manage core processes including onboarding, overtime permits, fines, uniforms and fleet maintenance.

Take ownership of personal development, keeping skills and product knowledge up to date.

Our hybrid model offers a best of both worlds approach. When you’ll be in the office depends on your role and team but colleagues spend at least 2 days a week in the office.

What you’ll need :

We’re looking for a detail‑oriented proactive individual with strong communication and problem‑solving skills.

You should be confident working with data, managing priorities in a fast‑paced environment and engaging effectively with stakeholders.

A collaborative mindset, risk awareness and flexibility to support operational needs are essential.
