Job Description
HireNow is partnering with a prestigious client in the heart of South Bank London SE1 to find a dedicated and articulate Call Centre Operator. This role sits at the frontline of customer engagement for a well-known organisation, where you will be the first point of contact, handling a high volume of inbound and outbound communications. The position is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced environment and is passionate about delivering exceptional service. Our client values professionalism, efficiency, and a positive attitude, making this a fantastic opportunity to develop your customer service career with a company that invests in its people.
By applying through HireNow, you gain access to our extensive network of employers across London. We don't just fill a single vacancy; we look at your skills holistically to match you with the perfect role. For instance, if your strengths lean more towards organisation, we might also recommend you for an Administrative Assistant position. Conversely, if you prefer hands-on work, roles like Warehouse Cleaner or School Cleaner in the SE1 postcode area could be a great fit. Our role is to be your career conduit, much like we've successfully done for candidates seeking an Urgent Maintenance Technician Job in Burnley or those looking for Immediate Start Nursery Nurse Jobs in Doncaster DN1.
Key Responsibilities
- Handle a high volume of inbound customer calls, emails, and live chat inquiries with professionalism, empathy, and efficiency, ensuring first-contact resolution where possible.
- Accurately log all customer interactions, update account information, and process requests or orders in the company's CRM system, maintaining meticulous attention to detail.
- Make outbound calls for follow-ups, customer satisfaction surveys, and to provide updates on ongoing queries, representing the company brand positively at all times.
- Identify, escalate, and proactively manage complex or priority issues to the relevant department (e.g., technical support, accounts, management) while keeping the customer informed.
- Achieve and exceed individual and team performance targets related to call handling times, quality scores, customer satisfaction (CSAT), and adherence to schedules.
What We're Looking For
- Proven experience in a customer-facing role, ideally as a Call Centre Operator, Customer Service Advisor, or similar position. Fresh talent with exceptional communication skills will also be considered.
- Excellent verbal and written communication skills in English, with a clear, calm, and confident telephone manner. The ability to listen actively and convey information simply is crucial.
- Strong IT literacy and the ability to navigate multiple software systems simultaneously (CRM, knowledge base, ticketing systems). Fast and accurate typing skills are a must.
- A resilient, patient, and solution-oriented mindset. You must be able to manage customer complaints calmly, work well under pressure, and maintain a positive attitude throughout your shift.
Salary & Benefits
We believe in transparency and rewarding our candidates fairly. This Call Centre Operator role offers a competitive hourly rate of £12.50 to £14.50, depending on your previous experience and performance during the recruitment process. Pay is processed weekly, so you won't be left waiting. In addition to the financial remuneration, this position through HireNow comes with a suite of benefits designed to support your wellbeing and career growth.
Your Benefits Package Includes:
- Weekly Pay: Reliable, on-time payments directly to your bank account.
- Holiday Pay Accrual: Build up paid holiday entitlement for every hour you work.
- Pension Scheme: Option to enrol in a workplace pension scheme.
- Flexible Shifts: Opportunities for full-time, part-time, and weekend work to suit your lifestyle.
- Career Progression: Clear pathways from temporary to permanent employment (temp-to-perm) and opportunities for upskilling.
- Dedicated Consultant: A single point of contact at HireNow to support you with any queries, shift changes, or career advice.
These benefits are standard across many of our roles, whether you're working as a Call Centre Operator, an Administrative Assistant, or in logistics. It's part of our commitment to being a leading staffing agency for employers and a trusted partner for job seekers.

Frequently Asked Questions
What experience do I need to be a Call Centre Operator in South Bank?
While previous experience in a call centre or customer service role is highly advantageous, we also consider candidates with strong communication skills, resilience, and a willingness to learn. Roles can vary from basic customer inquiries to more technical support. We assess each candidate individually to match them with a role suited to their skill level.
Are the shifts flexible for Call Centre Operator jobs?
Yes, flexibility is a key feature of many roles we fill. Clients often require cover for full-time (9-5), part-time, evening, and weekend shifts.

We specialise in quick mobilisation for urgent needs.
Is there a chance for permanent employment?
Absolutely. Many of our temporary assignments, including this Call Centre Operator role, are"temp-to-perm".
