If you excel in providing excellent customer service, possess strong communication skills, and thrive in fast-paced environments, we want to hear from you!

We are Cambridge University Press & Assessment, a world-leading academic publisher and assessment organisation and a proud part of the University of Cambridge.  

About The Role

You will join a fast-paced, busy, non-scripted customer support centre. We are a team known for consistently delivering outstanding customer service. We go above and beyond to ensure our customers always get the best support, whether it's through a phone call or an email.

At OCR (Oxford Cambridge and Royal Society of Arts Examinations), we are not just any exam board. We are leading the way in providing qualifications that engage learners of all ages and abilities, whether they are in school, college, the workplace, or part-time learning programs. Our qualifications set learners up for success, helping them reach their full potential.

In this fast-paced role you will be covering a variety of tasks including:

• Managing a variety of queries from our customers, spanning from guiding individuals through an OCR qualification to addressing exam-related inquiries and result concerns, utilising various communication channels.
• Ensuring meticulous documentation of every customer interaction within our CRM system for seamless tracking and follow-up
• Working closely with colleagues from different support functions to quickly and effectively resolve customer issues.
• Be the go-to expert on our products and systems, always ready to lend a hand.
  
  

About You

You will feel confident working both independently and as part of a team, demonstrating exceptional organisational skills and a keen eye for detail. Ideally you will have experience working in a non-scripted customer support centre and have knowledge of CRM or similar Customer Contact logging systems.

To be successful in this role you will also need to:

• Communicate confidently with customers through phone and email channels, ensuring exceptional service delivery.
• Stay calm and composed when dealing with customers, showing empathy and understanding at all times.
• Thrive in a fast-paced environment, meeting deadlines through collaborative efforts, and swiftly adapting to new information to address customer needs.
  
  

Perhaps you are currently employed in a customer-facing position like a Call Centre Agent, Customer Support Specialist, or Technical Support Representative. Alternatively, you could be working as a Client Services Coordinator, Receptionist, or Sales Support Associate. Another possibility is that you hold a role such as an Education Advisor, Training Coordinator, or Guest Services Representative.

If this sounds like you, don't hesitate to apply! We are excited to welcome you to our team.
