Job Description

  • Do you want to work with an organisation with a huge purpose like supporting people to live longer, healthier, happier lives across the globe?
  • Do you have a passion for delivering outstanding customer service in a fast paced, high energy environment?
  • Do you want a career, not just a job, where you can drive your own development and have a clear and structured progression pathway?
  • Are you confident and resilient with great listening skills and the ability to adapt your communication style?
  • Do you thrive on helping and supporting people when they need it most and ending the day knowing you have made a difference?
  • If you answered yes to all of these questions you would be a perfect fit for our member service adviser roles with our client, the leading provider of Private Medical Insurance in the UK!
  • This is a home based call centre role – 95% of the day will be spent answering incoming calls from our client’s members relating to queries about their private medical insurance policies; all calls are different and diverse.
  • You will be required to utilise all support tools and the knowledge you will receive throughout your training period to answer queries and guide people to get the most from their policy. The role is complex and requires navigation of multiple systems so you need to be PC literate.

You will have previous experience of working in a customer service environment and be able to work on your own initiative.

Personal Profile:

  • We are looking for individuals with a ‘can do’ attitude who can deal calmly and professionally with sometimes anxious and uncertain customers within a pressurised environment.
  • You will require a high level of communication skills, listening and focusing on each and every interaction and tailoring your response and solution for that customer.
  • You will have excellent telephone and letter writing skills, and the ability to deal effectively, quickly and accurately with internal and external customers of all levels.
  • You will display a high level of resilience and the ability to think analytically to assess clinical information to determine the eligibility of the benefit and a strong level of decision making and working on your own initiative to make decisions within the protocols set down.
  • As you will be working from home, PC literacy, high flexibility in your schedule, good organisation, independence and self-reliance are essential.
