Arco is the UK’s leading safety company, with a core purpose to keep people safe at work. We distribute over 170,000 world-class quality assured products and training providing expert advice, helping to shape the safety world and make work a safer place.

You’ll be given the opportunity to get involved in a variety of tasks including contacting and visiting customers to promote our products and services, responding to customer queries in-store and over email and ensuring we have a store to be proud of.

What you’ll be doing

  • Delivering outstanding levels of customer service
  • Interacting with our customers, in store, on the phone and on customer visits, to promote our products and services.
  • Providing a great shopping environment for our customers ensuring our stores are clean, tidy and presentable - a store we can be really proud of.
  • Processing customer transactions and responding to customer enquiries using our bespoke IT software

What you’ll need to have

  • Experience of working face to face with customers, preferably in a retail environment
  • An understanding of what makes a great customer experience
  • Comfortable making up to 20 promotional calls a day to business customers
  • A full UK driving licence
  • An understanding of IT systems to process transactions and respond to customer enquiries
  • Flexibility to cover colleague shifts (team absence, holidays)

What do we give you in return?

  • excellent pension and life assurance scheme
  • bonus scheme
  • high street retailer discount scheme
  • health purchase plan
  • 24 days’ annual leave + holiday purchase scheme
  • Community Volunteering days – two days’ paid leave annually to volunteer for a project or charity that means the most to you.
