Job Description

Location - This role is based in our Sheffield office 3 days per week with 2 days working from home. PLEASE NOTE - THE FIRST 5 WEEKS WILL BE FULL TIME IN THE OFFICE

Working hours - 37.5 hours per week (Monday-Friday, 9am-5.30pm with very occasional Saturday working)

Salary - £25,900 (OTE of £28,000)

Start Date - must be able to start on Tuesday 17th February

nb. Contact Centre experience is essential for this role.

As part of our recruitment process, we use an AI assistant called Lily to carry out an initial phone call. It takes just a few minutes and allows us to progress suitable candidates faster, including outside normal working hours.

Our mission:

• Two in five people in the UK rent their homes. Goodlord's mission? To provide them with the best renting experience in the world

• We started Goodlord because we wanted to make renting simple and transparent for everyone involved: the agent, the landlord, and the tenant. We knew Generation Rent would lead to more tenants, with higher digital expectations and we were confident we could provide a solution

• Like all scale-ups it’s been a bit of a rollercoaster journey, but we’re now stronger than ever, with around 3,000 letting agents using the platform, exciting and varied products and 350 Goodlordians supporting the mission!

The Opportunity:

• Pro actively working to progress referencing applications ensuring reports are generated for our customers in line with our KPI measurements

• Helping tenants to get their dream home through meeting and exceeding targets.

• Professionally supporting our customers with high levels of accuracy (this is super important) with great care and diligence via phone, live chat and email.

What we need from you:

• Previous experience working in a highly targeted and fast-moving contact centre - sadly if you do not have this experience we are not able to move forward with your application

• Customer centric mindset allowing you to quickly identify and understand the needs of our different customers

• Have great attention to detail and can easily identify inconsistencies

It would also be great if:

• You have previous experience in conducting credit or ID checks or working within the lettings industry

• you’re super organised and have proven your ability to prioritise effectively

What's in it for you:

• Grow with Goodlord: your development is important to us, that’s why we are Great Place to Work - certified. Have a goal in mind? Share it with us so we can use some of our annual development fund to support it. We guarantee you’ll learn loads and develop both personally and professionally!

• Your well-being matters: bi-weekly coaching with Sanctus to provide Goodlordians with a safe place to talk and support your mental health

• 25 days holiday (plus UK Bank holidays) plus 1 day per full holiday year up to 32 days: We believe regular breaks are essential for well-being and we encourage (some may say expect!) all Goodlordians to take full advantage of their annual leave entitlement.

• Supporting your family: we offer Goodlordians of all genders a generous 3 months of fully-paid time off to look after their new arrivals

• Our team: we’re an energetic, sociable, and talented bunch who are super passionate about what we do and determined to make a difference. We’re all in it together, we learn from each other, we’re genuine and we don’t have time for politics
