MyBuilder is growing and we’re looking for the very best customer service champions to join our team. We wear many hats to best serve the needs of our homeowner and trade customers, and we are looking for someone with the flexibility and skill to handle a varied caseload, supporting multiple departments across the business. We strongly believe in having a great work/life balance and that by hiring the right people, we can have a team who know our business inside and out, and can take ownership of their role and their personal development.

For the right person this is a great opportunity. This is not your run of the mill customer service job, it’s easy to say we do things differently, but we really do. If you’re interested, show us that you’re someone we can’t afford to ignore - we love a well-crafted cover letter and look forward to reading yours!

We can offer a range of part time hours in a fully flexible working environment with options to work remotely, at our lovely North East office, or a mix of both. We are particularly interested in talking to people who are able to work flexible hours which may include some evenings and/or weekends.

- Understanding the needs of our customers and playing a key role in enhancing their experience

- Using your positive attitude and superb communication skills to successfully deal with challenging interactions

- Picking up the phone and having honest and engaging conversations with our users

- Responding to emails and support requests from homeowners and tradespeople about our service

- Prioritising your workload and working effectively as part of a team

Why you’ll enjoy working at MyBuilder:

We offer all our employees the option to work remotely, at our office in the North East, or a hybrid option, with a generous office allowance to help with travel costs. Whichever option you choose, we’ll give you a laptop with all the kit you need. You’ll also get to spend quality time with your colleagues and meet your manager 1:1 on monthly office days.

As part of a close-knit team, you’ll benefit from regular peer support and feedback to help you succeed and progress in your role at MyBuilder. Most importantly, you’ll be in great company, surrounded by a world class team on a mission to make the world a better place, one project at a time. We’ll also add:

Company

MyBuilder is an online marketplace that brings together consumers, builders and tradesmen, offering an open and transparent platform that promotes and supports high-quality work. Working on a principle of accountability through feedback, tradesmen are rated on their workmanship by those who hire them, making it easier to find high quality builders and for builders to find good quality jobs.  Starting out in a cold Bristol garage, MyBuilder was the dream of stonemason Ryan Notz who didn't want to be "just another builder in the phonebook". Inspired by Ryan's first hand experience at how difficult it could be to find work and how hard it was for consumers to find trusted tradesmen.
