Customer Support Advisor

Customer Service Advisor (Helpdesk Analyst)

What it’s about

Customer Service Advisors (also known as Helpdesk Analysts) offer first-line customer support to Cambridge Assessment English exam centres, candidates and teachers based all over the world. For many customers, speaking to a Helpdesk Analyst is their first experience of the organisation, so we need great people who are able to make an excellent first-impression. If you’re enthusiastic, friendly, passionate about customer service and looking to work within a great team, this may be the job for you.

What you’ll be doing

As a Helpdesk Analyst, your day-to-day tasks would include:

• Providing world-class customer support to customers all over the world via email, phone, web-chat and social media.
• Answering a broad variety of queries about our exams, both for the candidates taking them and the exam centres running them, quickly and accurately.
• Providing first-line technical support to customers using our websites and systems.
• Talking to numerous other teams within the business to make sure the Helpdesk has all of the information needed to answer queries first-line.

Occasional evening and weekend work may be required during busy periods.

What we’re looking for

The right person for this job will have:

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a high-level of English.

• Confidence using and guiding others in the use of web-based systems and software packages.

You’ll also need to be:

• Empathetic and have a customer-focused approach in all of your work.
• Creative in your approach to problems; able to find solutions to problems that we may never have encountered before.
• Able to cope under pressure. Like many customer-service roles, it can get really busy at times and you’ll need to make sure the level of service you offer remains excellent at all times.

Experience working in a customer-service environment/helpdesk would be an advantage but finding someone with the right mind-set and skills is more important. The ability to speak and write a second (non-English) language would also be helpful but is not required.
