As a Customer Support Advisor, you will be working alongside the team but also required to work on your own initiative to ensure that all DBS applications and renewals are fulfilled according to ECB and DBS guidelines/policy and supporting Clubs and Counties with the onboarding and maintenance of their officials via a Club Safeguarding System (Safe Hands Management System).

There is a wide variety of tasks involved with this role, such as calls, chat, emails, data quality reports, data matching, content management, and therefore it would suit an individual who enjoys multi-tasking and is highly organised.
