Open is looking for enthusiastic and motivated Customer Service Advisors to join its growing team in Manchester (M3). This hybrid role is ideal for individuals who are passionate about delivering outstanding customer experiences and eager to develop their skills in a supportive, forward-thinking environment.
As a Customer Service Advisor, you’ll be the first point of contact for clients — providing prompt, professional, and friendly support across multiple channels. You will help resolve queries, explain complex information in clear and simple terms, and ensure every customer feels valued and understood.
While previous experience in customer support is beneficial, it’s not essential. Open welcomes individuals who show strong potential, excellent communication skills, and a positive, can-do attitude. To succeed, you’ll need strong written English, confidence in grammar and tone, and the ability to tailor communication to different audiences. A proactive, curious mindset and collaborative team spirit are also key qualities we value.
Position: Customer Service Advisor
Salary: From £25,615 per year
Job Type: Full Time
Location: Manchester (Hybrid)
About the Role
Open is an Australian-founded Insurtech company on a mission to make it easy for everyone to get the best-priced insurance.
With data and technology at our core, we power embedded insurance programs for leading brands like Avios, Starling Bank, Bupa, and Telstra (Australia’s largest telco) and their customers. Starting in Australia in 2016, we’ve launched in the UK and are growing rapidly across travel, gadget, and home insurance.
We’re backed by leading investors, including LocalGlobe (UK), AirTree Ventures (AU), Movac (NZ), and Hollard Insurance (AU) – and have been a certified B Corp since 2017, keeping our commitment to people, partners, and communities at the heart of everything we do.
About our company
You could be joining a leading provider of home care and support services to older adults in the area. We were formed over 20 years ago based on the owner’s own experience of caring for her daughter. She felt there was a need to provide a care service that puts people at the heart of the service rather than profit. Everyone who works in our service has a passion for ensuring only the highest standards of support is provided. We have a good CQC rating and brilliant feedback from their Care Assistants about being “A fantastic place to work”
