If you thrive in a fast-paced environment and have a natural ability to explain complex information easily, we would love to hear from you.

We have an opportunity for a passionate and experienced customer service professional to join our customer services team. You will be the first point of contact for our customers, including dentists, dental practitioners and patients.

You will provide accurate information both over the phones and by responding to emails. This is a busy role, where you can expect to take more than 50 inbound calls per day. There will also be reception cover required at times.

We are open Monday - Friday and support customers from 08:30 - 17:30. We support hybrid working and can discuss what this would mean for you at interview.

Your well-developed interpersonal skills will be supported by proven experience of working within a busy customer focused environment, responding to telephone calls and emails, and working to deadlines.

You will be a team player with the ability to communicate confidently, clearly and effectively with customers, both verbally and in writing.

You will be able to demonstrate empathy, tact and discretion whilst discussing sensitive issues or complaints with customers and colleagues.

You will need experience in Microsoft Office (Outlook, Word, Excel). Previous call centre experience and proficiency in Dynamics CRM are preferred, but not essential.
