Customer Service Assistant jobs in United Kingdom

Customer Service Advisor (Zero Carbon Living)

Location: Glasgow or Bristol

Team: OVO Care, Account Management

Sponsorship: We are unable to offer sponsorship for this role

At OVO, we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work for everyone. That’s why we created the OVO Way of Flexibility.

All our roles are hub-based (Bristol or Glasgow), providing a dedicated space for collaboration, connection and teamwork. You’ll also have the flexibility to work from home.

For this role, you\'ll need to be based within a reasonable distance from our offices (30 miles) and able to travel into either our Bristol or Glasgow hub 2 times per week during your training period (first 7 weeks), and then at least 2 times a month once you\'re in your squad.

Teamworking for the planet

Everything we do here spins around Plan Zero. The team you’ll be joining plays a gigantic role in making that happen. Our way of working enables us to treat our customers as individuals—resolving their queries as quickly as possible; we call this Account Management. We work in squads with a zero carbon goal in mind; it\'s a culture and a mentality, with self-management and collective decision making. Plan Zero guides our work, valuing continuous improvement and adapting to deliver customer value.

This role in a nutshell: As a Zero Carbon Living Advisor, you will provide consistently outstanding service to OVO’s customers across the entire customer lifecycle. You will solve customer needs while informing and educating on our Plan Zero mission and connecting them with products and services that support home decarbonisation. This is a customer-facing role, so you should enjoy talking to people. You’ll resolve inbound queries through calls, web chat, WhatsApp and emails.

• Engage with OVO’s customers, communicating with passion across phone, email, and web chat contacts
• Understand the root cause of customer contact quickly, taking ownership to resolve the query first time to prevent repeat contact
• Coach teammates in areas of deeper knowledge or skill to improve customer queries and squad knowledge
• Take ownership for the success of the entire squad; align individual effort with squad objectives
• Autonomously manage your day to achieve squad objectives
• Prepare, attend and actively contribute at squad meetings
• Identify and implement continuous improvement in squad ways of working and customer experience
• Promote OVO products and services to customers and represent the company as an ambassador
• Have strong conversations to promote Zero Carbon Living products and services
• Own your development and use tools to have informed conversations about new and existing products

• Enjoy working in a fast-paced customer service environment with a passion for outstanding service and continuous improvement
• Demonstrate OVO values and advocate Plan Zero
• Experience in cross-selling
• Ability to work well in a team and independently

As well as a base salary of £25,086, which rises to £26,770 once you reach Level 2 (usually after 6-9 months, but depends on the individual), you’ll also be eligible to qualify for a monthly incentive based on squad performance.

We offer green benefits and progressive policies to help you belong at OVO… and there’s flex pay. It adds 9% of your salary to spend as you choose (cash, pension top-up, or flex benefits).
