Job Description

You'll lead, coach and track a team of 12 to 18 agents at a medical scheme call centre in Soweto. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

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

The work, day to day

  • Take escalated calls that agents cannot resolve.
  • Run morning huddles and share yesterday's stats with your team.
  • Give one-on-one feedback with a clear action and a follow-up date.
  • Listen to call recordings and score them on the quality form.
  • Build rosters and forecast call volumes in the workforce tool.
  • Report weekly on service level, AHT, CSAT and attrition.

What you need

  • Strong Excel: pivot tables, VLOOKUP and simple charts
  • Know your way around contact centre metrics
  • You can give tough feedback kindly and follow through
  • At least 2 years as an agent and 1 year coaching or supervising
  • Flexible for shift cover across the week
  • Written English good enough for client reports

Nice if you have

  • A coaching or facilitation certificate
  • Workforce tools such as NICE, Verint or Genesys
  • COPC or similar contact centre standards exposure

What's in it for you

  • Laptop and data for remote reporting days
  • Medical aid and retirement fund contributions
  • Team performance bonus paid quarterly

Applying, step by step

  1. Read the "What you need" list above. If you tick most of it, go ahead and apply.
  2. Keep copies of these ready to send: two references, including a former manager plus your highest qualification.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 6 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.

Before you hit apply

  • Internal agents get first look, so if you already work at the centre, tell your manager before the post goes out.
  • Expect a scoring exercise on a real call recording; practise with a standard quality form beforehand.
