At HMRC we have a vital purpose. We help people pay their tax and provide financial support to families and individuals. We make sure money is available to fund the UK’s public services such as hospitals and schools, answering around 50 million calls and handling 15 million items of customer correspondence every year. Our services support customers on behalf of the entire department, dealing with a broad range of different and complex customer enquiries.
This is a great chance to start your career with HMRC and we offer real opportunities to progress and develop your career with us or the wider Civil Service if you choose.
We’re striving to be the best customer service organisation in the UK, and we need enthusiastic people to help us achieve this.
What will you be doing?
Our Customer Service Advisors are the voice of HMRC, using their brilliant communications skills to give our customers the best possible experience.
Your primary role will be handling contact from customers effectively and efficiently across different lines of business.
You'll be the first point of contact for our customers, providing a first-rate service by telephone, email or web chat.
Your duties will depend on the line of business you join, however all business areas expect your duties to include:
* Speaking to customers on the phone, helping them with their questions or issues.
* Helping customers to pay the correct amount of tax at the right time.
* Discussing, calculating and collecting interest and penalties for late payments or late filing of tax returns.
* Taking payments by phone and via our online services.
Should vacancies arise in other lines of business within Customer Services Group, other main duties may include:
* Creating customer records and keeping them up to date.
* Using webchat and email to support our customers online.
Working patterns
We work a variety of shifts between 7:45am and 8pm, Monday to Saturday, to make sure we can help customers when they need us.
You will work a maximum of one late shift per week (ending at 8pm) and a maximum of 6 Saturdays each year.
The majority of roles within customer services allow you to work from home two days a week if you choose, this includes Saturday and 8 pm shifts.
On the days you attend the office, you will be working in the location shown in the title heading of this advert.
As a flexible employer, we will consider part-time requests. (Part-time is a minimum of 25 hours per week covering variety of shifts.) However we do require you to complete your training in the office on a full-time basis, usually 6 weeks Monday to Friday between 9am and 5pm.
What do we need from you?
No experience is necessary as you will be fully trained, but we would like you to be comfortable talking on the phone and discussing debt with our customers.
You will also need to be comfortable writing up notes, as this is mainly a phone-based role.
We are looking for individuals with the drive and passion to make a difference to people’s lives, and need people:
* With great communication skills, both verbal and written in English language (and Welsh where required)
* Dedicated to providing a brilliant customer service
* With a can-do attitude and a real passion for supporting people
