Customer Care Consultant

Description:

Join a local Bendigo organisation as a Customer Care Consultant

Our client believes in delivering a compassionate and seamless service during one of life's most delicate moments. Our Customer Care team is at the heart of this mission, guiding families and funeral directors through the interment and memorialisation process. Our client honours its values, encourages continuous improvement, and prides themselves on creating an environment of respect and support for both customers and their team.

• Customer Care:
  
  • Manage a range of enquiries, providing clear, current, and accurate information to resolve issues at first contact.
    
  • Process customer concerns, complaints, compliments, and ensure that your team leader is kept informed of any significant matters.
    
  • Support remote sites as needed-both in-person and via phone.
    
• Sales and Bookings:
  
  • Make accurate bookings for burials, cremations, services, and functions in line with company policies.
    
  • Engage directly with funeral directors to confirm service details, complete necessary documentation, and coordinate with Burial Operations.
    
  • Facilitate memorial arrangements, including plaque quotes, financial transactions, and coordination with suppliers and contractors.
    
• Reception and Administration:
  
  • Maintain a secure, friendly, and presentable reception area stocked with company brochures and essential materials.
    
  • Process payments over the counter and assist with administrative tasks such as document management, scanning, filing, and routine correspondence.
    
• Record-Keeping and Reporting:
  
  • Ensure all customer transactions are accurately recorded in compliance with company operating procedures and relevant legislation.
    
  • Assist with data input and electronic document management to maintain the integrity of our records.
    
• Team Player and Continuous Improvement:
  
  • Actively participate in team meetings, self-assessments, training opportunities, and organisational initiatives.

  • Maintain confidentiality at all times and support the upkeep of a clean, efficient workspace.
    

• Experience & Skills:
  
  • Demonstrated experience in customer service, sales, or a similar role. Experience in the funeral industry is an advantage, but not essential.
    
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to manage sensitive enquiries tactfully.
    
  • Proven ability to multitask-balancing telephone enquiries, data entry, and front desk management with precision.
    
  • High level of accuracy in performing administrative and clerical duties.
    
• Technical & Operational:
  
  • Must be comfortable using technology and performing essential office tasks such as data entry, electronic filing, and word processing.
    
  • Ability to work independently with sound judgment while contributing as a collaborative team member.
    
• Mobility & Practical Requirements:
  
  • Possession of a current Victorian Driver's Licence with a clean driving record and willingness to travel to remote sites as required.
    
  • Ability to wear corporate attire and personal protective equipment provided by the company.
    
  • Availability to occasionally work "after hours" for planned events and service delivery.
    
  • Willingness to undergo a national criminal history check or working with children check, where applicable.
