What’s the job?

In a nutshell, you’ll be helping our customers with whatever they need –giving them the confident, friendly, human support first direct is so well known for.

You’ll need to be able to really listen to the customer’s requirements with empathy, understand their needs and provide them with best support by clearly communicating the right information and solutions to help them, ensuring they leave the call knowing they have received a top-notch service. You’ll also be comfortable following set processes and confident working with technology.

Full time roles are 35 hours per week, and because we’re here for our customers 24/7, working patterns can vary. You might be working over 4 or 5 days, with some evening and/or weekend hours, but you’ll always get at least 2 days off together for some down time.

Your progression’s as important to us as we hope it is to you. You’ll meet other new starters and be fully equipped to join your team through a six week fully onsite training programme and, it doesn’t stop there, we have multiple support functions to help you continue to grow in your career.

• Give back with up to 2 paid community days every year
