Job Description

Headset on, systems open: this telecoms support centre in Epping needs agents who stay patient on the hundredth call. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work, day to day

  • Follow up on open tickets and phone customers back when promised.
  • Answer inbound calls within target and greet callers using the approved script.
  • Meet daily targets for average handle time, quality score and first-call resolution.
  • Process address changes, refunds and cancellations on the billing system.
  • Troubleshoot routers, fibre connections and app logins step by step.
  • Attend team huddles and weekly coaching sessions on call recordings.
  • Handle callers with UK, US or Australian accents and time zones.

You'll need

  • Clear, neutral spoken English and good typing speed (around 30 wpm)
  • You stay calm when a caller is angry
  • Matric with a pass in English
  • Able to pass a voice and accent assessment
  • Open to rotating shifts, including nights and weekends for offshore campaigns

Nice if you have

  • A Customer Service NQF Level 2 or 4 learnership certificate
  • Technical know-how on Wi-Fi, fibre or smartphones

What you get

  • Company transport home after night shifts
  • Monthly performance bonus linked to quality and attendance
  • Paid training for 2 to 4 weeks before you go live
  • Clear promotion path to team leader or quality assessor

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your matric certificate, certified copy of your ID plus a CV with a working cellphone number and email address.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 10 working days.

How2Apply never charges you to apply, for training, for uniforms or for a "placement fee". If anyone asks you for money, it is a scam.

How to stand out

  • Put any shift work (retail, restaurant, security) on your CV; recruiters want proof you turn up for rotating hours.
  • Practise answering "Tell me about a time you helped an unhappy customer" out loud before the voice interview.
