• Our Energy Helpers help introduce these local communities to Octopus Energy as a preferred potential supplier by comparing service and products with other energy companies.  This helps potential customers make an informed choice on whether they’d benefit from switching to us for their energy supply at their homes.
• Your role will be to ensure every conversation you have delivers outstanding customer service.

• No sales experience is necessary, we will help you with that!  But if love engaging and exciting customers, have plenty of confidence and enjoy delivering excellent customer service, we want to hear from you!
• High energy and the ability to confidently communicate with potential customers.
• Experience in a customer‑centric setting where you have come up with quick and effective customer solutions.
• The ability to work collaboratively with your team in order to influence and inspire.
• Clear communicator with a focus on listening and attention to detail.
• Honest, focused, and committed to delivering the highest levels of customer service.
• A driving license in order to travel to all our different venues situated across the locations.
• Able to work weekend and evening shifts for this role.

Why else you’ll love it here

• £25,300 salary year+ unlimited commission (opportunity for realistic commission earnings of £10,000+ per year).
• 🎉 Octopus Energy Group is a unique culture. An organisation where people learn, decide, and build quicker.  Where people work with autonomy, alongside a wide range of amazing co‑owners, on projects that break new ground.  We want your hard work to be rewarded with perks you actually care about!  We won best company to work for in 2022, on Glassdoor we were voted 50 best places to work in 2022 and our Group CEO, Greg has recorded a podcast about our culture and how we empower our people.  We’ve also been placed in the top 10 companies for senior leadership.
