As a Britannia Rescue Customer Representative, you’ll be the reassuring voice our customers hear during stressful moments – whether they’re stranded on the roadside or stuck in the rain with their family. You’ll handle calls with empathy, clarity, and efficiency, providing immediate support and arranging the help they need.

You don’t need previous experience in customer service – what matters most is your attitude. If you’re calm under pressure, an excellent communicator, and genuinely care about helping people, we’ll provide the training and tools to help you succeed and thrive in this vital role.

3 weeks of virtual training to build your knowledge and confidence.

Followed by 3 weeks of buddying, where you’ll work alongside experienced team members to ease into the role.

About You

You will be:

• Providing compassionate and efficient support when handling breakdown calls, assisting customers needing roadside assistance or recovery – often during urgent or emergency situations.
• Ensuring positive customer interactions and taking ownership for achieving good resolutions – independently, or with support.
• Managing end‑to‑end services by processing messages, instructions, and updates through online systems.
• Coordinating breakdown and uplift services for third‑party clients.
• Answering and initiating contact across all channels to resolve queries and complaints, completing agreed actions.

• Proven experience in a customer‑facing role, with a genuine passion for helping others.
• Excellent communication skills, both verbal and written, with the ability to remain calm and clear under pressure.
