About the role
As a Customer Service Representative, you will be the first point of contact for TAFE NSW students, prospective students, and former students. This is a customer-facing role based on campus, where you will support people at every stage of their journey from initial enquiries through to course information, enrolment, completion, and general support services. No two days are ever the same.
In this high-volume role, you will provide friendly, accurate and timely support across multiple channels, including face-to-face, phone and online. You will support customers with enquiries, applications, and a wide range of student services, always aiming to resolve issues quickly and deliver a positive and supportive experience.
As a team player who is adaptable and proactive, you will support different Student Services teams during busy periods or when priorities shift. You will also work closely with internal teams to resolve or escalate more complex enquiries, identify customer needs, and ensure the customer is always at the centre of your decision-making.
This is a full-time role (35 hours per week), Monday to Friday, worked between 8:00am and 6:15pm, and is based on-site at a TAFE NSW campus.
About you
To succeed in this role, you will bring experience working in a fast-paced, high-volume customer service environment, supporting customers across multiple channels such as face-to-face, phone and online. You enjoy helping people and take a proactive, customer-first approach, always looking for ways to provide a positive and efficient experience.
You are a strong team player who is adaptable and comfortable working in an environment where priorities can shift. With a mature, can-do mindset, you take ownership of your work, communicate clearly, and collaborate effectively to resolve enquiries and support your team during busy periods.
You will have strong attention to detail and be confident using a range of systems and technology, including MS Office and digital communication tools, with the ability to quickly learn new systems (CRM experience is highly regarded).
In addition, you will hold a minimum Certificate III in a relevant administration discipline (or equivalent experience) and be willing to travel to nearby campus locations if required.
