Be the reassuring voice our customers need when it matters most

When someone has been involved in a car accident, their next call can make a huge difference to how they feel about what happens next.

That’s where you come in.

We’re looking for confident, caring and commercially minded people to join our inbound contact centre team in Tunbridge Wells. You’ll be there for customers at a stressful and uncertain moment, listening to what’s happened, asking the right questions and helping them understand the next steps.

You’ll gather the information we need, help establish liability and find the right solution for each customer — combining empathy and good judgement with the brilliant service people expect from the AA.

Why you'll enjoy this role

• Make a real difference – reassure and guide customers through what can be a stressful experience
• Solve different challenges every day – no two calls are the same, so you’ll use your judgement to find the right way forward
• Build valuable expertise – develop your knowledge of claims, liability and confident decision-making
• Make a commercial impact – identify opportunities to offer our third-party claims service, helping customers find the right solution for their circumstances
• Be part of a supportive team – work alongside colleagues who share knowledge, tackle busy periods together and celebrate success

• Is calm, empathetic and genuinely enjoys helping people
• Communicates clearly and confidently, even during difficult conversations
