About this role
Blackpool Transport Services is looking for a Customer Experience Officer to join their team at Rigby Road Depot in a part-time capacity. You'd be the main point of contact for customers across multiple channels—email, telephone, and live chat—handling everything from complaint resolution to general inquiries. The role extends beyond the phone and screen too; you'll spend time at key locations across the Fylde Coast, including bus and tram stops and Blackpool train station, engaging directly with residents and visitors. Managing lost property, gathering customer feedback for other departments, and communicating service updates through digital platforms are core parts of the work, with particular importance during Blackpool's busy summer season and illuminations period.
This position suits someone with genuine customer service experience and a track record working in fast-paced, people-focused environments. You'll need NVQ Level 2 qualifications in customer service and literacy/numeracy, competence with Microsoft software, and comfort navigating different IT systems. Experience in call handling, retail, or cash handling is valued, though the essential requirement is the ability to communicate clearly with diverse customers, stay flexible when priorities shift, and maintain a professional, approachable demeanor under pressure.
The role offers 28 days' holiday annually (rising to 33 after five years), free travel on Blackpool Transport services, learning and development support, and access to the company pension scheme. At £28,000 annually on a part-time basis, it's positioned as a rewarding environment for someone genuinely motivated by helping people navigate their journeys.
