Role Description/Purpose
The British Council is looking for a motivated and customer-focused professional to join our team as a Customer Service Representative (CSR). In this role, you will deliver consistent, high-quality customer experiences across multiple channels, including face-to-face interactions, phone, email, web chat, and social media. As the first point of contact for our customers, you will manage enquiries, registrations, complaints, and transactions efficiently, ensuring accurate information, smooth customer journeys, and full adherence to service standards.
Customer Service Representatives are expected to resolve most enquiries at first point of contact, escalating issues where appropriate and identifying opportunities to promote relevant products and services that support both sales and customer retention. The role requires a strong focus on compliance, data accuracy, and effective use of systems such as CRM and registration platforms to ensure high-quality service delivery.
The position offers a clear development pathway, from inductee to specialist, combining service excellence with proactive customer engagement. Through this approach, you will contribute to customer satisfaction, loyalty, and advocacy, while supporting revenue growth and the British Council’s wider mission of building trust and understanding worldwide.
The Customer Service Representative role sits within the Sales and Customer Service function, which underpins the organisation’s success by delivering excellent customer experiences and strengthening long-term relationships. As a frontline representative, you will engage with a diverse customer base and play a key role in connecting people to our products and services. By working across multiple channels and service types, you will contribute directly to commercial performance while upholding the British Council’s brand values and global purpose.
Role Accountabilities
We are seeking a customer-focused professional to join our team as a Customer Service Representative. In this role, you will deliver excellent customer service across multiple channels, including face-to-face interactions, phone, email, web chat, and social media. You will handle enquiries, complaints, and registrations professionally and accurately, ensuring a consistent customer experience that meets defined service standards.
You will be responsible for maintaining accurate and timely data entry across CRM and other operational systems, ensuring full compliance with safeguarding, financial, and information security policies. Attention to detail and strong system use will be essential to support high-quality service delivery and operational integrity.
During customer interactions, you will actively identify opportunities to recommend suitable products and services, contributing to sales performance and customer retention. You will also provide valuable feedback and insights on customer needs, behaviours, and recurring issues, supporting continuous improvement initiatives and contributing to Voice of the Customer activities.
The role includes supporting a range of operational processes such as booking consultations, processing payments and refunds, and managing customer communications, while ensuring alignment with quality assurance and audit requirements. You will be expected to continuously develop your knowledge of British Council products, services, and policies to ensure customers consistently receive accurate, up-to-date information.
This role is ideal for someone who is service-oriented, commercially aware, and committed to delivering high-quality customer experiences while supporting organisational objectives.
