Customer Service Advisor (Trade Support)

As our next Customer Service Advisor (Trade Support), you’ll be the first voice our tradespeople hear when they need help, support or advice. Whether it’s solving a problem, answering a question, or showing them how to get more from their membership, you’ll make sure every interaction feels simple, helpful and valuable.

This is a great role for someone who loves supporting others, stays calm under pressure, and takes pride in delivering great service.

Forget long lists, here’s what you’ll actually spend your time on:

Helping tradespeople get more from Checkatrade, answering calls, chats and emails with care and confidence

Spotting how to add value, guiding members towards tools, features or upgrades that support their goals

Solving tricky issues, listening carefully, thinking critically, and using sound judgement to resolve concerns

Working cross-functionally, escalating the right cases and collaborating with other teams to get things sorted quickly

Sharing feedback, helping us improve the way we support our members, reduce repeat contact, and build trust

It’s not about ticking every box. It’s about turning up curious, ready to crack on. You’ll do well here if you bring:

Experience in customer service, ideally in a membership or B2B environment

Excellent communication skills, clear, calm and compassionate, even in tough conversations

A logical, problem-solving mindset, you work through issues methodically and keep things fair

Confidence working at pace and adapting to change

Tech-savviness, you're comfortable using systems like Salesforce Service Cloud, GSuite and AI-powered tools

We believe great work deserves great rewards. Here’s just a taste:

Base salary: £29,000 per year + bonus

Health, well-being and learning support

Gym membership, Smart Tech Scheme and Cycle Scheme

Birthday/Special day leave

Buy & sell holiday scheme

1 week’s paid charity leave and much more!

As part of our current hybrid working model, this role requires attendance at our Portsmouth office 4 days per week.

If this sounds like the place where you can do your best work, we’d love to hear from you, even if you don’t tick every box

At the moment, this role isn’t open to visa sponsorship applications.
