Porting Assistant
When a customer migrates their phone service from BT to a new phone company, such as Gradwell, their phone number can move with them. This process is called “Porting”. We have a vacancy for a part time (week day mornings) administrative assistant to help us process our number porting orders.
Gradwell dot com Limited is a rapidly growing Internet Services Provider who focuses on VoIP (www.gradwell.com/voip/), email and web service solutions. We are a pioneer in the exciting new world of Internet telephony and this section of our business is growing rapidly.
(£ 13,500 per year pro-rata, 9am to 1pm M-F)
As a new and fast moving technology, VoIP is a demanding product to provide and our customer support team is regularly faced with evaluating new and different types of network routers, phones, broadband services etc. to make sure it all fits together correctly so our clients can make phone calls.
We have won a number of awards in 2004 and 2005 in various DTI schemes including “Best use of Broadband” for our VoIP product and “Best Teleworking Company” and “Best Online Customer Service” for both of which we were highly commended.
2006 and 2007 have been equally exciting and we are continuing to double in terms of customer base, financial turn over and staff (we are currently a team of 20)
Prior experience of the Internet, IT and Telecoms Sectors will be highly beneficial as our core business is selling outsourced telecoms, email and web hosting services to IT consultants, designers, media agencies and other small and medium sized technology based businesses.
