Summary

I am a customer focused professional with experience working in high-volume, fast-paced environments, including student accommodation and telesales. I regularly manage enquiries across phone, email, and face-to-face channels, taking full ownership of issues from initial contact through to resolution while maintaining a high standard of service.

I am confident handling complaints, working collaboratively with internal teams, and prioritising workload to meet deadlines and service expectations. My experience has also developed my ability to work independently in remote and hybrid settings, manage competing demands, and maintain accurate records in line with GDPR and confidentiality standards, including the use of CRM-style and electronic record systems.

I am particularly motivated by improving customer experience and ensuring people feel supported and understood. I am drawn to this role at Tes as it aligns with my interest in supporting education through reliable, high-quality services that enable schools and educators to focus on improving outcomes for students.
