Job Description:

We’re looking for a customer support advisor to join our Customer Operations Team in Gateshead. Our customer service advisors are on the front line at Instapro/MyBuilder, making sure all users have a good experience using our platform. We help people resolve their issues, turning unhappy users into advocates and encouraging repeat use of our service.

As a customer service advisor at Instapro/MyBuilder you will be providing exceptional customer service and support to all of our users - whether that’s helping a homeowner to post their job on the website, helping a tradesperson to get the most out of using our platform or providing advice and support to all users if something hasn’t gone to plan. We use a proactive approach by engaging with our customers through outbound calling.

Your role includes the following:

1. Supporting customers through outbound calling as they post their job on the website to help them find the best tradesperson for their needs.
2. Offering guidance and support to new and established tradespeople, helping them to get the most from being a member of Instapro.
3. Retaining great tradespeople by thinking creatively and offering them exceptional support when they get in touch.
4. Handling complaints that often involve customers from both sides of our marketplace, giving users advice and support to guide them to a positive outcome.
5. Working with other teams across the business to develop and trial new approaches that further enhance the experience of our users.
6. Responding to questions and comments on social media or via review sites such as Trustpilot.

You have 1-3 years of experience in a customer service environment.

Outstanding communication skills. You enjoy talking to people, take pride in writing a great email and know how to adapt your tone to suit each enquiry.

You’re organised, able to prioritise your own workload, have excellent attention to detail and enjoy working in a fast-paced environment.

You enjoy a varied role, you’re flexible and able to quickly adapt as required by the needs of the business and our customers.

You are confident and calm under pressure - you don’t shy away from difficult conversations. You use your empathetic approach and enhanced complaint handling skills to help your customers find a positive solution.

You have a positive outlook, bags of enthusiasm, are a natural team player and always able to smile at the end of a challenging day.

Comfortable with technology. Able to quickly learn new applications and processes.
