About you

Our Customer Consultants come from a vast and varied range of "people person" career backgrounds. Including reception/admin, hospitality, retail, hair/beauty, care, contact centre, insurance, and other financial services.

Great customer service is in your DNA. Your ability to multi-task, type and talk simultaneously will assist you to quickly meet our customer's needs. A resilient person with a positive outlook to your work is essential to remain adaptable and flexible as our business continues to grow. Whilst most of this role involves inbound communication channels, you will have a natural sales aptitude and be comfortable educating and offering new products and services to our customers to best suit their needs.

The important stuff

• This role requires a commitment to a rotating roster with evening and weekend shifts, with applicable loadings paid, however we are open to discussing your availability and may be able to offer some flexibility in certain circumstances.
• We're an extended hours contact centre, which means some evening and weekend shifts are part of the gig (complete with extra pay for your time!) but we also value balance, so let's chat about your schedule and see how we can make it work for both of us.
• Successful candidates will commence employment on Monday, 7th September 2026.
• There will be full-time training for 5 weeks to ensure you're ready to jump on the phones and confidently assist our customers. This training is compulsory, and you must attend in person at our Adelaide and Ipswich offices (dependent on your location), hours are 8:30am to 4:30pm for Adelaide and 9:00am to 5:00pm for the Ipswich location.
• Based in our Adelaide or Ipswich office, this role offers hybrid flexibility after 8 weeks, progressing to up to 3 days a week working from home post-probation.

This role is permanent, full-time.
