Job Description

Customers phone this online retail help desk in Centurion when something has gone wrong, and your job is to put it right. This role rewards consistency more than flash.

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

What you'll actually do

  • Reply to emails and live chats within the service-level window.
  • Attend team huddles and weekly coaching sessions on call recordings.
  • Answer inbound calls within target and greet callers using the approved script.
  • Verify caller identity before sharing any account details, as POPIA requires.
  • Troubleshoot routers, fibre connections and app logins step by step.
  • Log every interaction and outcome in the CRM before taking the next call.
  • Escalate complex complaints to a team leader with clear case notes.

Must-haves

  • No criminal record, as most clients run a background check
  • Clear, neutral spoken English and good typing speed (around 30 wpm)
  • Able to pass a voice and accent assessment
  • Matric with a pass in English
  • You stay calm when a caller is angry

Nice if you have

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

On offer

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