Are you passionate about delivering exceptional customer service? Do you enjoy building relationships and making a real difference to people's lives?
At Grandir UK, we're looking for a Parent Engagement Executive to join our friendly and supportive team based in Basingstoke. You'll be the first point of contact for many families considering one of our nurseries, helping them navigate their childcare journey and ensuring they receive an outstanding experience from their very first enquiry.
Every conversation you have will help parents make one of the most important decisions for their family, making this a rewarding role where no two days are the same.

- Building strong relationships with families by understanding their childcare needs and recommending the most suitable nursery.
- Delivering an exceptional customer experience that reflects Grandir UK's values.
- Following up with prospective families and maintaining regular communication throughout their decision making process.
- Working closely with nursery teams across the UK to maximise enrolments and occupancy.
- Accurately updating customer information using our CRM system.
- Achieving individual and team performance targets while maintaining excellent customer service standards.
- Identifying opportunities to improve the customer journey and contribute ideas to the wider team.
What we're looking for

You'll ideally have:
- Previous experience in customer service, sales, hospitality, retail or a contact centre environment.
- Excellent communication skills with the ability to build rapport quickly.
- A positive, friendly and professional approach.
- Strong organisational skills and excellent attention to detail.
- The ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast paced environment.
- Confidence using computer systems and Microsoft Office.
- Experience using CRM systems such as Zoho would be an advantage, although full training will be provided.
- Previous childcare experience is beneficial but not essential.
