Job Description

Customers phone this international outsourcing contact centre in Paarl when something has gone wrong, and your job is to put it right. It's a practical job: you'll see what you got done before you go home.

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

The work, day to day

  • 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.
  • Troubleshoot routers, fibre connections and app logins step by step.
  • Verify caller identity before sharing any account details, as POPIA requires.

Must-haves

  • Matric with a pass in English
  • Clear, neutral spoken English and good typing speed (around 30 wpm)
  • Basic computer skills: Windows, email and working across a few screens
  • Able to pass a voice and accent assessment
  • Open to rotating shifts, including nights and weekends for offshore campaigns

Helpful, not essential

  • A second language, especially Afrikaans, isiZulu or Portuguese
  • Previous contact centre or retail customer service experience

On offer

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

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Paarl really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): proof of residence for the background check, a CV with a working cellphone number and email address plus certified copy of your ID.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 9 working days, usually by phone.
