• Improve team cohesion, collaboration and communication.
• Support employees in building confidence, accountability and customer service capability.
• Design, deliver or facilitate customer service and professional development training.
• Work closely with leadership to embed company values and desired behaviours.
• Support cultural and organisational change initiatives.
• Provide guidance and recommendations on people-related matters within the department.
• Help establish best practice processes and development frameworks for the Customer Service function.

• A practical and hands-on approach to problem solving.
• Confidence operating within a developing and evolving business environment.
• Strong understanding of customer service principles and team development.
• The ability to identify root causes of people and performance challenges rather than simply managing metrics.

What's on Offer
