What We Are Looking For

We are looking for committed, flexible and proactive Customer Support Officers to join our Customer Support Team. You will have a positive outlook and will share our values, commitment, and motivation to make a difference for our residents, clients, and communities.

About The Role

The role will be a mix of both home working and working at our customer access points on a rota basis across Stowmarket, Sudbury, Shotley, Hadleigh and Eye between the hours of 8.45am - 5pm Monday - Friday.
