Customer service professional skilled in administration and care.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated customer service and administration professional with hands-on experience across financial services, parking administration, retail and care settings. I build trust with customers, retain clients through strong relationship skills, and maintain accurate records using Salesforce and Microsoft Office.
My recent role as a Customer Service Advisor at Volkswagen Financial Services involved handling commission claims and complaints, liaising with claims management companies, and maintaining product knowledge to meet customer needs. I have strong administrative experience from roles processing ANPR/MNPR notices, managing post and scanning documents, and data protection responsibilities.
I bring a practical, service-oriented work ethic developed through roles in healthcare support, hospitality and cleaning services, where attention to detail, health & safety compliance, time management and a courteous approach were essential. I am reliable, professional, and ready to contribute in customer-facing or administrative positions.
