Job Description

Headset on, systems open: this insurance claims contact centre in Germiston needs agents who stay patient on the hundredth call. If you learn fast and don't mind being shown things twice, you'll settle in within a few weeks.

You'll be based at an insurance claims contact centre in Germiston. Living nearby, or on a taxi route to it, really helps. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

The work, day to day

  • Escalate complex complaints to a team leader with clear case notes.
  • Answer inbound calls within target and greet callers using the approved script.
  • Log every interaction and outcome in the CRM before taking the next call.
  • Verify caller identity before sharing any account details, as POPIA requires.

You'll need

  • Able to pass a voice and accent assessment
  • Basic computer skills: Windows, email and working across a few screens
  • You stay calm when a caller is angry
  • Clear, neutral spoken English and good typing speed (around 30 wpm)

Extra points for

  • Technical know-how on Wi-Fi, fibre or smartphones
  • A second language, especially Afrikaans, isiZulu or Portuguese

What's in it for you

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

  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your matric certificate plus a CV with a working cellphone number and email address.
  3. Use the form on this page. It takes about two minutes and you don't need to upload anything yet.
