CCP has passionately supported candidates with ‘customer contact’ job opportunities since 2010. We focus on partnering with our fantastic clients, immersing ourselves in their brand when they’re looking for talented, culturally aligned people to join their business.
Are you a resolution focused debt management professional who thrives to deliver high quality and efficient customer service?
Do you demonstrate an empathetic and considered approach when dealing with escalated customer enquiries?
CCP has been asked by an established housing association to assist them with appointment of several Debt Collections Officers to join their ambitious debt recovery team. Within this award-winning contact centre, you will be expected to maximise and sustain rental income and other debts by carrying out collection and arrears prevention activity.
You will ensure the most appropriate prevention and collection strategies are in place to avoid homelessness and sustaining tenancies. Through inbound and outbound calls, as a Debt Collections Officer you will agree and monitor payment plans as well as collecting payments, while offering guidance to both customers and colleagues on the appropriate debt collection and prevention processes (including legal action).
As part of the Income Management Team, you will support the delivery of the debt management strategy through prevention, early intervention, and effective arrears recovery methods. In some cases you may work with various parties (Early Intervention Officers, Housing Services, Tenancy Sustainment Services) to manage escalated accounts, while taking ownership to reduce legal cases and homelessness where possible. By using data analysis, customer segmentation and profiling tools, you will identify payment patterns to target contacts accordingly and achieve income performance targets.
There are a range of roles within the team depending on your experience. For those with experience handling escalated cases, these work onsite between 8am and 3:30pm, Monday to Friday (starting salary is £26,500 with the opportunity to increase to £29,500 over the first 12 months based on performance). For those newer to debt collection, the shifts would be 8am - 3:30pm, Tuesday to Saturday (£22,500 starting salary, moving up to £25,000).
