Job Description

Customers phone this banking service centre in Johannesburg CBD when something has gone wrong, and your job is to put it right. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

You'll report in Johannesburg CBD. Relocation is not covered for this one.

What you'll actually do

  • Log every interaction and outcome in the CRM before taking the next call.
  • Troubleshoot routers, fibre connections and app logins step by step.
  • Reply to emails and live chats within the service-level window.
  • Handle callers with UK, US or Australian accents and time zones.
  • Answer inbound calls within target and greet callers using the approved script.

You'll need

  • No criminal record, as most clients run a background check
  • Able to pass a voice and accent assessment
  • Open to rotating shifts, including nights and weekends for offshore campaigns
  • Clear, neutral spoken English and good typing speed (around 30 wpm)
  • Basic computer skills: Windows, email and working across a few screens
  • You stay calm when a caller is angry

Helpful, not essential

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

What you get

  • 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
  • Company transport home after night shifts

Applying, step by step

  1. Make sure the role, the hours and working in Johannesburg CBD really suit you before you apply.
  2. Have the following on hand (clear photos on your phone are fine at first): certified copy of your ID plus proof of residence for the background check.
  3. Fill in the short form below with your name and a phone number you actually answer.
  4. Watch for a call or WhatsApp from How2Apply over the next 6 working days.

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

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.

Before you hit apply

  • Take the online assessment in a quiet room with a headset; most BPOs screen out candidates on background noise.
  • Practise answering "Tell me about a time you helped an unhappy customer" out loud before the voice interview.
