You'll report in Durban Central. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What your day looks like

  • Verify caller identity before sharing any account details, as POPIA requires.
  • Escalate complex complaints to a team leader with clear case notes.
  • Handle callers with UK, US or Australian accents and time zones.
  • Follow up on open tickets and phone customers back when promised.

  • Open to rotating shifts, including nights and weekends for offshore campaigns

On offer

  • Company transport home after night shifts
  • Medical aid option after probation
  • Paid training for 2 to 4 weeks before you go live

Applying, step by step

  1. Check you meet the must-haves first; recruiters filter on those before anything else.
  2. Get these ready, because shortlisted people are asked for them straight away: certified copy of your ID, proof of residence for the background check plus certified copy of your matric certificate.
  3. Send your details with the form below. Add one or two lines about similar work you've done.
  4. Keep your phone on. Shortlisted applicants are contacted by call, SMS or WhatsApp within 9 working days.

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

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.
