Job Description

Headset on, systems open: this telecoms support centre in Paarl needs agents who stay patient on the hundredth call. You'll work with a small crew, so being easy to work with matters as much as skill.

The site is in Paarl; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying.

The work, day to day

  • Log every interaction and outcome in the CRM before taking the next call.
  • Follow up on open tickets and phone customers back when promised.
  • Escalate complex complaints to a team leader with clear case notes.
  • 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.
  • Reply to emails and live chats within the service-level window.

Must-haves

  • Matric with a pass in English
  • Clear, neutral spoken English and good typing speed (around 30 wpm)
  • You stay calm when a caller is angry
  • Basic computer skills: Windows, email and working across a few screens
  • Able to pass a voice and accent assessment

Helpful, not essential

  • Previous contact centre or retail customer service experience
  • A Customer Service NQF Level 2 or 4 learnership certificate

What you get

  • Medical aid option after probation
  • Paid training for 2 to 4 weeks before you go live
  • Company transport home after night shifts
  • Clear promotion path to team leader or quality assessor

Applying, step by step

  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 ID, certified copy of your matric certificate plus proof of residence for the background check.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.

Your application joins the How2Apply talent pool for this role, and we put shortlisted people forward to employers hiring in and around Paarl.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

Before you hit apply

  • Take the online assessment in a quiet room with a headset; most BPOs screen out candidates on background noise.
  • Put any shift work (retail, restaurant, security) on your CV; recruiters want proof you turn up for rotating hours.
