Salary
25.342.08
Customer Engagement Assistant
Let's be upfront with you: this isn't the highest-paying job you'll ever have. But it could be the one that has the biggest impact on your career.
Every day, millions of people rely on Stagecoach to get where they need to go. When they have a question, a problem, or just need someone to actually listen, you're that person. Working across calls, webchat, email, SMS and social media, you'll be the voice (and the typing fingers) of one of the UK's biggest transport businesses.
No two days are the same. One minute you're resolving a tricky complaint with empathy and a bit of creative thinking; the next you're spotting a pattern in your calls that quietly improves things for thousands of future customers. You'll work closely with our regional operational teams, and over time you'll feel less like a contact centre agent and more like someone who genuinely runs things.
What we need from you
Excellent communication skills, written and verbal, across every channel
Confidence with IT systems and the ability to pick things up quickly
Strong literacy and numeracy; you'll be interpreting information and making judgement calls daily
Previous experience in a customer-facing role (a shop, a café, a helpline, it all counts; contact centre experience is a bonus but not essential)
The ability to stay calm, empathetic and solutions-focused when things get difficult
You'll thrive here if you...
Genuinely like helping people, not just ticking a box and moving on
Take ownership rather than looking for the nearest exit
Treat every customer as an individual, not a ticket number
Are equally comfortable on the phone or behind a keyboard
What you'll gain
Omni-channel contact centre skills that are genuinely in demand
Confidence handling complex, real-world conversations
Experience working with enterprise-level systems and processes
Visibility across a national brand, and a network to match
A team around you, not just a job title
A CV that opens doors well beyond this role
The role is 37.5 hours per week on a rotating shift pattern, Monday to Sunday between 08:00 and 18:00.
