We are looking for a proactive and people-focused Customer Service Supervisor based at our Hope Works office, Derbyshire. Reporting to the Internal Sales & Customer Service Manager, you will lead our Customer Service team, ensuring an excellent experience for bulk and packed cement customers from initial enquiry through to delivery and aftercare.

As Customer Service Supervisor, you will be responsible for the day-to-day performance, development and wellbeing of the team, ensuring work is delivered efficiently, accurately and to a high standard. You'll be a visible and supportive leader, setting clear expectations, developing capability and fostering a culture of accountability and continuous improvement.

You will develop advisors to take ownership of their work, providing customer support when required while maintaining time for your supervisory responsibilities.

• Lead, motivate and develop a team of Customer Service Advisors, creating a high-performing and customer-focused culture.
• Manage day-to-day team workloads, priorities and resource planning to ensure excellent service delivery.
• Coach and support colleagues through regular 1:1s, performance reviews and development activities.
• Act as an escalation point for customer enquiries and complaints, driving effective resolutions.
• Work closely with Logistics, Commercial and Production teams to deliver a seamless customer experience.
• Monitor team performance, customer feedback and service KPIs, identifying opportunities for improvement.
• Support recruitment, onboarding and training to build team capability and resilience.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives and support changes to systems, processes and ways of working.

• Experience leading or supervising a customer service, internal sales or similar operational team.

• A proactive approach to problem solving, continuous improvement and customer satisfaction.
• Good commercial awareness and attention to detail, with experience using Microsoft Office and customer or order management systems.
• GCSE Maths and English, or equivalent qualifications or relevant experience.

The right approach and attitude matter most to us. We are looking for someone who takes ownership, follows things through and enjoys helping others develop. Previous cement or construction industry experience is not required - we will provide product and system training.
