Who are we looking for?

In short, we are looking for candidates who understand that excellent customer service is not a department, but an attitude. This means you must be able to demonstrate strong communication, problem solving and computer skills.

Your passion for great customer service is further demonstrated through excellent listening skills as well as an eye for detail. You take pride in your work and combine this with a healthy sense of humour and self-awareness. Your ability to thrive in a fast-paced environment will engage you in this varied role.

Relevant experience in the tertiary sector will be considered an asset, however not essential.
