This vacancy is open to employees of the University of Nottingham only.

Senior Customer Service Adviser (Line Management)

University of Nottingham Libraries, Student Support 

Location: The role holder will work across all campuses on a rota basis

Are you passionate about customer service and looking for a role filled with variety and challenge, working in a multicultural community? We are looking for enthusiastic, welcoming and customer-focussed people to join our frontline team. We know that having colleagues from a wide range of backgrounds is key to a supportive workplace and even better services. We are particularly keen to receive applications from those underrepresented in Libraries in the UK, such as racially minoritised people. 

As a Senior Customer Service Adviser (Line Management), you will take day-to-day responsibility for the delivery of high-quality frontline services. Working flexibly, you will manage the efficient running of services at our libraries, ensuring they are safe and inclusive for all. You will work directly with customers, staffing enquiry desks on a rota basis, and will ensure our teams deliver a warm welcome and great experience to customers – in person and virtually. You will need to work independently at times, prioritising and managing your workload effectively, whilst working with colleagues from all teams in University of Nottingham Libraries.

As well as these frontline duties, you will have Line Management as your focus area (50% of your role). Senior Customer Service Advisors (Line Management) lead on the recruitment, induction, training and development of new Customer Service Advisors. As part of this team, you will line manage and support our team of Customer Service Advisors, carrying out regular 121s, providing feedback, conducting appraisals, challenging poor performance and, where necessary, carrying out formal HR procedures.

We are committed to providing competitive employment packages that support your well-being and help you reach your full potential. You will have access to a benefits package, including fitness and health facilities, staff discounts and travel schemes, along with a generous holiday allowance and pension scheme.    

Don’t meet every requirement? Studies show candidates who identify as part of the Global Majority or are racially minoritised are less likely to apply unless they meet every requirement. Within Libraries, we are dedicated to building a diverse and inclusive workplace, so if you’re excited about this role but your experience doesn’t align perfectly, we encourage you to apply anyway. You may be just the right candidate.
