Make a Real Difference—Every Single Day

Are you passionate about helping people, solving problems, and delivering exceptional service? Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same?

We’re looking for a Customer Experience Advisor to join our growing team and play a vital role in supporting families who rely on us. This is more than just a customer service role—it’s your opportunity to take ownership, build trust, and make a meaningful impact.

About The Role

When a family reaches out, they are often facing a challenge that matters deeply to them. In this role, you will act as their advocate and a key point of contact for military families, ensuring their concerns are understood, managed, and resolved with care, urgency, and professionalism.

This is a high-volume, fast-paced role where you will be handling a mix of inbound and outbound calls, as well as managing shared inboxes. You will balance multiple priorities while keeping customer expectations realistic and informed throughout the process.

You will take ownership of queries through to completion, working to resolve issues efficiently while preventing escalations and complaints. Alongside this, you will use tools such as Excel and internal systems to track progress and maintain accurate records.

What You’ll Need

You will bring strong, proven customer experience, particularly in roles involving regular telephone interaction and managing sensitive or challenging conversations. You are comfortable working under pressure and able to remain calm, professional, and solution-focused at all times.

We are looking for someone who demonstrates stability and commitment, with the ability to work independently using their own initiative. You will be proactive, a self-starter, and willing to learn, with a flexible approach to changing demands.

You are highly organised and capable of multitasking in a demanding environment without compromising quality. You are confident managing expectations and building rapport quickly, even in difficult situations.

Your approach is proactive rather than reactive, and you take pride in seeing tasks through fully while maintaining a strong sense of accountability.

Due to the location, a valid driving licence and access to a vehicle are required.

You will be required to successfully obtain BPSS clearance as part of the onboarding process.

This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful impact through work that directly supports families. You will be part of a supportive and collaborative team within a successful and growing organisation, with opportunities for development and progression.

We offer;

• 6% employee matched pension contribution
• 25 days annual leave plus bank holidays
