As our customer numbers continue to grow, so does our need to hire fantastic people to serve them.

You will deal with inbound calls, online chat, social media and emails, offering a varied yet challenging role!
Here at Starling we truly put our customers first, we’re different from other contact centres in that we don’t have strict targets, we do this as we really want our customer service team members to focus on quality. You'll receive regular feedback to ensure you're giving our customers the best possible service. We don’t offer bonuses or incentives, we want to hire people who are driven to do the best for our customers.
Everyone at Starling gets the chance to own interesting things from day one, and we’re told one of the best things about working here is the ability to achieve a lot in a short space of time.

Once we have reviewed your application we will be in touch to let you know if we are progressing your application further or not. If progressed, we will then invite you to record a one-way video to tell us about yourself or book a call with someone from our talent acquisition team.
After the video or call, if the role seems like the right fit, we will invite you for a final stage video interview with a Team Leader from our Customer Services team.
