Customer Service Advisor - Tramways - Part Time

Customer Service Advisor

16 hours per week - working 2 days out of 7

We are Tramways, Student Roost. An owner and operator of purpose-built student accommodation across the UK. Were not quite the new kids on the block, having already created a portfolio of over 19,000 beds and ambition to increase that further soon; but were at the very beginning of building our brand, our culture, and our DNA. That makes it an exciting time to join us.

We are already a team made up of great people and were a business who will endeavour always to do the right thing, in the right way truly putting students experience, welfare and safety at the top of our agenda.

Weve all heard if you build it, they will come; we believe if you build it right, they will stay that goes for both our residents and our people. We want to be a stable, welcoming, and safe backdrop to our residents entire time at university, giving them one less thing to worry about. And for our people, we all spend more time at work than we do with our loved ones, we think its only right that you do that in an organisation, environment, and a team that you love being a part of.

We think theres a difference between offering a 24/7 presence and a 24/7 service; having someone on hand isnt the same as having great service, around the clock. Instead, we prefer to say were always here.

We are looking for someone to join our Roost on a full-time permanent basis, with the successful candidate working 2 days out of 7 between 8am & 8pm, including weekends. Our new CSA will become a key part of our existing, friendly, and experienced property team at our Tramways Property in Chester.
