Hello, we’re UW

We’re the UK’s only genuine multi-service provider, providing energy, broadband, mobile and home insurance to over 900,000 customers. 

Our goal is to double in size over the next five years so we need lots more great people to join us in our journey. 

Everybody matters at UW. We embrace different perspectives, life experiences and personalities in an inclusive environment where people can have fun and grow together. 

Although we’re a FTSE 250 company and have been around for 25 years, we still have a small company feel and the culture of a start-up. You’ll be joining a bunch of genuinely friendly people who love working together and really want to make a difference.

The role - be the voice of UW 

Skip the commute and work from home as part of an award-winning customer care team 

You’ll be the person who gives us a voice and connects us to our customers. 

You’ll help to solve our customers’ problems, providing them with support, advice and the peace of mind that their query will be resolved.  

We won’t lie - it’s not always an easy role.  You’ll need to be willing to deal with challenging and vulnerable customers, there is a lot to learn and things are always changing.  But we’ll give you all the training you need when you join and then once you are part of a team, you’ll have people around you for continued learning and encouragement. 

You’ll work towards a number of KPIs such as:

• Compliance Transfer rate
• Customer satisfaction
• Calls per hour
• Smart metres booked 
• Home Insurance quote conversion

Who we’re looking for

We’re looking for people with great customer service skills who enjoy resolving customer issues. Ideally, you will currently or have previously worked in a contact centre/call centre role. 

We also want you to be: 

• A great listener who remains calm under pressure
• Someone who loves working in a fast-paced and changing environment
• Motivated and keen to meet goals and targets 

You will be able to demonstrate:

• Responsibility
• Integrity
• Efficiency

What you’ll need

We will supply the equipment needed for you to do the role but you will still need a strong internet connection.  Our minimum speed requirement is 25Mbps Download and 4 Mpbs Upload.

You will also need a dedicated, quiet work space with a work station, plenty of natural light, access to fresh air and no distractions. This cannot be a communal space that is shared by other household members.  

You’ll also need to be currently residing in the UK with eligibility to live and work in the UK too.
