While each day varies, we expect around 50% of your customer interactions to be through digital chat and the rest by phone, with chat usage increasing over time.

You can always opt to work from the office more frequently if that suits you better. When we organise training and events you may be required to attend in person for the duration.

Location - Our fantastic Bexhill office, which is next to the seafront, and only a short walk from Collington station.
