Customer Service Co-ordinator

At Places for People, we hire People, not numbers! So, if you like the sound of one of our jobs, please apply - you could be just who we're looking for! Of course, experience and track record are important, but we're more interested in hiring someone that embodies our People Promises. That's someone that does the right thing, is enthusiastic and motivated to grow, believes in Community spirit, is respectful and enjoys their work. As the UK's leading Social Enterprise, we don't discriminate based on any protected attribute. In fact, we're dedicated to creating inclusive and thriving Communities for both our Customers and Employees. 

So, what are you waiting for? Join a Community that cares about you! 

This is a hybrid role – 2 days in our Grays Inn Road office (Wednesdays & Thursdays) and 3 days working from home.

More About Your Role

More About You

To shine in this role, you'll need to bring exceptional customer service skills, a positive and proactive mindset, and the confidence to handle challenging situations with professionalism and care. You're someone who keeps customers engaged, even when things get tricky.

Bonus points if you know a thing or two about the new build or construction industry – especially if you've dealt with aftercare or new-build warranty defects.
