Job Description

Customers phone this banking service centre in Prospecton when something has gone wrong, and your job is to put it right. Bring a calm head on busy days and you'll be fine.

The work is in Prospecton, KwaZulu-Natal, so you'll need a reliable way to get there every day. Start is planned for the beginning of next month.

The work, day to day

  • Process address changes, refunds and cancellations on the billing system.
  • Handle callers with UK, US or Australian accents and time zones.
  • Answer inbound calls within target and greet callers using the approved script.
  • Reply to emails and live chats within the service-level window.
  • Escalate complex complaints to a team leader with clear case notes.
  • Meet daily targets for average handle time, quality score and first-call resolution.
  • Verify caller identity before sharing any account details, as POPIA requires.

You'll need

  • Able to pass a voice and accent assessment
  • Clear, neutral spoken English and good typing speed (around 30 wpm)
  • Open to rotating shifts, including nights and weekends for offshore campaigns
  • 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

What you get

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

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 matric certificate plus a CV with a working cellphone number and email address.
  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 10 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 Prospecton.

Applying is free. Nobody from How2Apply will ever ask you to pay for anything to get this job.

How to stand out

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