The Customer Service Centre is the First Point of Contact for many of Lincolnshire County Councils Services, including Adult Care, Childrens Services, Highways, Registration & Celebratory Services, Library Services. We deliver a diverse range of services, many of which play an important part in peoples lives - whether it is carrying out a Social Care Assessment to enable a resident to stay safely at home, taking a contact to support a Child in Need or simply renewing a library book, it can be hard, but rewarding work.

The Opportunity

We are currently recruiting for Customer Service Advisors for our Children's Team in the Lincolnshire County Council Customer Service Centre. In this crucial and sensitive role for Children's Services, you'll be the first point of contact for anyone that calls in to Customer Services to report concerns about a child. This will include taking calls from members of the public and professionals such as Police Officers, Nurses and School Teachers. It will be your responsibility to gather as much information and detail from the caller as possible, using your professional curiosity and Signs of Safety Methodology to fact-find information. This will all be captured by you, written up against a framework onto our system and then passed over to Children's Social Care. The decisions that are made for the children are based on the evidence you have gathered; so, you'll need your clear, concise, and cool-headed communication style to provide that information.

The subject matter of the calls can be very challenging so you'll naturally need to be a strong and resilient character and be mentally prepared to deal with situations that are sometimes harrowing and distressing. As the first port of call, you'll also naturally need to be able to adopt an empathetic, caring and compassionate approach.

You will have exceptional customer service skills, particularly with the ability to build rapport with people in order to gather information accurately whilst talking on the phone. Lastly, you need to be able to compile information and present it in a logical manner ensuring that it is clear, concise, and error-free.

You will be dealing with calls from professionals (e.g. Police and Health Services), and from Members of the Public. The calls will be of a sensitive nature and you will be required to gather and process information efficiently and accurately.

To be a successful Children's Service Customer Service Advisor you will have a passion for delivering excellent customer service and excellent communication skills. Candidates will be flexible. Good IT skills with a competency in using Microsoft Office and Windows is also essential! The ability to talk and type is also essential
