Job Description

A good call centre job in Paarl gives you training, shifts you can plan around and room to move up. Good for someone who wants to build a solid track record they can put on their CV.

The site is in Paarl; early starts mean public transport timing matters, so check your route before applying. Most weeks are 45 hours, in line with the BCEA.

What your day looks like

  • Handle callers with UK, US or Australian accents and time zones.
  • Verify caller identity before sharing any account details, as POPIA requires.
  • Reply to emails and live chats within the service-level window.
  • Follow up on open tickets and phone customers back when promised.
  • Log every interaction and outcome in the CRM before taking the next call.

You'll need

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

Nice if you have

  • A second language, especially Afrikaans, isiZulu or Portuguese
  • A Customer Service NQF Level 2 or 4 learnership certificate
  • Technical know-how on Wi-Fi, fibre or smartphones

What's in it for you

  • Paid training for 2 to 4 weeks before you go live
  • Monthly performance bonus linked to quality and attendance
  • Company transport home after night shifts

Applying, step by step

  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 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. If you're shortlisted you'll hear from us within 7 working days, usually by phone.

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

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.

Tips to get shortlisted

  • Put any shift work (retail, restaurant, security) on your CV; recruiters want proof you turn up for rotating hours.
  • Practise answering "Tell me about a time you helped an unhappy customer" out loud before the voice interview.
