What it’s like working in their team …
You will be part of a relatively small team of Customer Service Advisors supporting Warwickshire’s residents in several ways. Sometimes you will be offering information on how to access a service. In other instances, you will be collecting information on behalf of a council service team so that they can deal with the person’s request. They also support people to access council services online. They aim to build their confidence and skills so they can complete the transaction digitally themselves.
Most customers get in touch with them over the phone, but they also communicate with some via email. They will respond to people in the way they have chosen to contact them.
They think of work as something they do rather than somewhere they are. This means that you may be required to work from a Warwickshire County Council office site in Warwick or Bedworth, or from home. Whatever the location they are working from, their standards remain high. They always put the customer at the heart of what they do. The types of conversations you will have with people will vary somewhat, but you are supported by your colleagues and an intuitive IT system.
