Who is HomeServe looking for?

We’re looking for enthusiastic and empathetic individuals to join our team as Customer Service Representative.

You’ll take the time to understand each customer’s needs, whether that’s progressing a claim or resolving a query, and aim to provide the right solution first time.

For example, if a customer’s boiler breaks down, you’ll take ownership from the outset - handling the claim, organising an engineer visit, and ensuring the issue is resolved as quickly and smoothly as possible. You’ll also support customers with a wide range of everyday queries, making sure they feel supported whenever they reach out to us. With ongoing training, you’ll develop strong knowledge of our products, systems, and regulatory processes, enabling you to deliver a confident, seamless experience across every interaction.
