In the last twelve months, we've helped many Customer Service Advisors to progress their careers into roles within our Supporting Housing, Digital Inclusion, and Customer Focus teams. We've even had Advisors develop into senior management roles. In fact, our Programme Change Development Lead as well as some of our Account Managers, Data Analysts, Project Managers and Specialist Landlord Coordinators all got their start within our Customer Contact Centre.
