Job Description

A good call centre job in Soweto gives you training, shifts you can plan around and room to move up. People who do well here are steady, honest and not scared to ask when something is unclear.

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

What you'll actually do

  • Answer inbound calls within target and greet callers using the approved script.
  • Process address changes, refunds and cancellations on the billing system.
  • Verify caller identity before sharing any account details, as POPIA requires.
  • Meet daily targets for average handle time, quality score and first-call resolution.
  • Log every interaction and outcome in the CRM before taking the next call.

What you need

  • Open to rotating shifts, including nights and weekends for offshore campaigns
  • Basic computer skills: Windows, email and working across a few screens
  • You stay calm when a caller is angry
  • Able to pass a voice and accent assessment
  • Matric with a pass in English

Extra points for

  • Previous contact centre or retail customer service experience
  • A second language, especially Afrikaans, isiZulu or Portuguese
  • A Customer Service NQF Level 2 or 4 learnership certificate

What's in it for you

  • Clear promotion path to team leader or quality assessor
  • Company transport home after night shifts
  • Monthly performance bonus linked to quality and attendance

How to apply for this job

  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 plus certified copy of your matric certificate.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 5 working days.

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

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

  • 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.
