About the role
It is an exciting time to join the charity as we make significant investments in the fundraising team to focus on promoting Liveable Towns and Cities and develop Paths for Everyone. Supporters and donors are at the heart of Sustrans work, helping us to achieve our overall mission of making walking and wheeling accessible for everyone. In this role you will act as the primary contact point for donors and the general public, playing a key part in helping us to deliver a great customer experience.
You will be responsible for interactions and enquiries using a variety of methods (phone, email, letter, and digital channels) along with providing excellent customer service including taking and approving orders over the phone.
We offer true hybrid working, with a mix of home working and the opportunity to work from our hub in Bristol, with flexible hours offered to suit individual circumstances.
About you
You should be a clear communicator and have experience in handling enquiries and complaints via phone, e-mail, and digital channels.
This is a customer centric role so you should have demonstrable experience in delivering high quality customer/supporter care.
With the ability to work and plan independently, you will also be comfortable working collaboratively and effectively across multiple teams.
Sustrans has a long-term commitment to being a charity for everyone - reducing inequality, valuing diversity, enabling inclusion and ensuring all people are treated with dignity and respect. We aim to be a truly inclusive employer and welcome applications from people from all parts of the community, in particular from under-represented groups.
