Customer Representative

Britannia Rescue is one of the UK’s most respected names in breakdown cover. Our parent company, Allianz, is committed to delivering outstanding customer service across all their insurance products, and Britannia Rescue is no exception.

As a Britannia Rescue Customer Representative, you’ll be the reassuring voice our customers hear during stressful moments – whether they’re stranded on the roadside or stuck in the rain with their family. You’ll handle calls with empathy, clarity, and efficiency, providing immediate support and arranging the help they need.

You don’t need previous experience in customer service – what matters most is your attitude. If you're calm under pressure, an excellent communicator, and genuinely care about helping people, we’ll provide the training and tools to help you succeed and thrive in this vital role.

This is a hybrid role based in our Leeds office, with the expectation to be on-site two days per month.

This is a full-time position, with a planned start date of 16th March 2026.

In your first 6–12 months, you’ll focus on handling breakdown claims, giving you a strong foundation in customer support. After that, you'll be cross-skilled into Britannia Rescue’s Sales and Service function, broadening your expertise and development opportunities.

3 weeks of virtual training to build your knowledge and confidence. Followed by 3 weeks of buddying, where you’ll work alongside experienced team members to ease into the role.
