Are you excited and enthusiastic about Customer Service? 

Are you an effective leader and able to promote a culture of putting the customer at the heart of everything we do? 

Can you coach and support individuals to drive change and continual improvement in performance? 

Then let’s talk ….

Customer Services in Coventry has changed, we’ve brought services together so that customers are able to contact us once for all their needs, we’ve improved our self-service options and we see our customers face to face in a new customer services centre in the city centre. There is still a lot of work to do in order to achieve our vision and that’s where you come in…. 

You will join our busy Improvement and Development team focusing on delivery of our Customer Service function against the organisational vision. 

You will have a keen focus on performance and work closely with individuals across all areas of Customer Services, supporting them to achieve and deliver high standards of customer service. 

You will actively promote a positive, customer focused culture, contributing to the improvement of Customer Service through effective personal coaching and training delivery. 

You will need excellent communication skills and the ability to connect / build relationships with team members. The role will involve producing and agreeing action plans with team members that help us to continuously improve.

You will undertake quality monitoring and work closely with team leaders providing evidence for one to ones and appraisals. 

So, if you get a kick out of helping people develop and want to join us in shaping Customer Services then this role might be just what you’re looking for. 

Keen to join the team? Please complete an application form, tell us about your previous experience and where you have used your skills to shine.
