Salary: GBP26000 - GBP30000 per annum

Do you have a natural ability to make people feel comfortable and genuinely listened to?


If you enjoy talking to people, building relationships and making a real difference every day, this Customer Support Specialist role based in the centre of Altrincham could be the perfect fit.

We're recruiting for a fast-growing and ambitious business looking to expand their friendly team with a Customer Engagement Advisor.

What will you be doing as a Customer Engagement Advisor?

This is much more than a typical customer service role. You'll be supporting customers who have already enquired about claiming a government benefit, helping them take the first step towards accessing the financial support they may be entitled to.

Duties will include:

  • Making outbound calls to customers who have enquired about the services the company provides (no cold calling!)
  • Speaking with customers over the phone throughout the day, handling enquiries and following up warm leads
  • Building trust and rapport with older customers, making them feel comfortable, supported and understood
  • Clearly explaining the service and answering questions with patience and empathy
  • Handling objections gently but confidently, guiding customers through the next steps
  • Managing your own pipeline of enquiries using the CRM system
  • Booking suitable customers into appointments with the Claims Processing team


We would LOVE to hear from you if you have the following skills and experience:


Whether you've worked as a Telesales Executive, Appointment Setter, Customer Service Advisor, Customer Experience Advisor, Contact Centre Advisor, Call Centre Advisor, or in another telephone-based customer service role, we'd love to hear from you.

  • A confident, engaging and friendly telephone manner
  • The ability to make outbound calls on a daily basis
  • Experience in pensions, insurance, claims, or other financial services based industries would be interesting but is not essential
  • A kind, compassionate and patient approach
  • The ability to quickly rapport and gain people's trust to guide them to making an appointment
  • Clear, easy-to-understand communication skills
  • Confidence using a CRM system and managing your own workload
  • A positive attitude

  • The chance to earn £4,000 pa bonus
  • Optional overtime paid at time and a half
