We have a new temporary project based in an office in Luton for the next 4 months and open to people just looking for temp work but there's also a great route into a longer-term temp to permanent role here too - We're very much open to both full AND part time applicants too.
This is very much a customer service and orders focussed role and is very much focussed on email orders, so the likelihood is the people on this contract won't be trained to go onto the phones.
You'd have the chance to work with one of the UK's leading specialist in their field in this project and the opportunity to join and work alongside their busy customer orders fulfilment team on a full-time and temp basis initially, but as mentioned above, very much open to this becoming permanent too.
The Orders Department is the beating heart of the business; processing customer sales orders and ensuring that they deliver great service to their customers and you'd be doing similar, just focussing on their online/email based orders.
As a temp the plan would be to get someone started and trained on the email systems quickly and help with what is expected to be a busy few months, and then slowly training this person on the orders side, leading into a permanent role if that's what you're looking for.
This is a fully office-based role for temps, however once you have completed probation and employed permanently, there is the offered opportunity for hybrid working.
Hours/days are Monday to Friday and vary between 8am - 4pm, 8:30am - 4:30pm, or 9am - 5pm shifts - We'd be open to people working Monday to Wednesday (3 days), Monday to Thursday (4 days) or a full 5-day week. The salary on offer for this role is £25,000, as a temp you'd be paid weekly and earning the hourly equivalent of this which is £12.99 per hour, plus holiday pay accrual.
They offer a number of benefits including employee discount schemes, themed lunch event days and free on-site parking, opportunity for hybrid working and more!
