Your role

As a Customer Service Advisor, you’ll be the first point of contact for our customers, from the comfort of your own home. That means you’ll be the ears and voice of Bupa. You’ll also need to be a friend, a trusted source of information and even a shoulder to cry on; touching the lives of strangers in an important way, every day.

Whether a customer is calling about a sprained ankle or a life-threatening illness, you will treat them with the same level of care and compassion.

And it won’t always be easy. You will need to authorise or decline treatment in line with policy coverage. But, with the right balance of empathy and resilience, you can build a great career.

We support your ambitions and as a large business we offer different career paths inside and outside of the contact centre if you have the willingness to learn and grow.

What you’ll do

• Support customer enquiries through both inbound and outbound calls, ensuring each customer has a great experience

• Pre-authorise or decline treatment in line with Bupa policy coverage, responding with empathy at all times

• Accurately maintain our customer database, ensuring all conversations and outcomes are recorded

• Maintain high professional standards at all times and abide by all regulatory requirements

• Enjoy working from home 100% of the time

What you’ll bring

A successful Customer Service Advisor will need:

• Great listening and communication skills with the ability to respond with empathy

• A mix of flexibility and resilience to deal with a variety of enquiries

• Strong PC skills with the ability to troubleshoot basic IT issues as they arise

• An enthusiastic, positive attitude with a real desire to help others
