About the role
Salary: R23 000 per month
Remote Recruitment is looking for a Customer Service Agent to join a UK-based business, working fully remotely from South Africa. Hours are 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST), Monday to Friday.
Role overview
You will be the first voice and first reply customers meet. Most of the work is handling questions about orders, accounts and services by phone, email and live chat, sorting out what you can on the spot and knowing when to escalate. The team is small enough that you will be trusted to use your judgement rather than read from a script.
Key responsibilities
Answer inbound calls, emails and live chats from UK customers
Resolve queries about orders, deliveries, billing and account changes
Log every interaction accurately in the CRM so colleagues can pick up where you left off
Escalate technical or complex complaints with clear notes attached
Follow up on open tickets until the customer confirms they are sorted
Flag recurring problems so the wider team can fix the root cause
What you will need
One or more years in a customer service, call centre or retail support role
A clear, neutral telephone manner and confident written English
Experience with a CRM or helpdesk system such as Zendesk, Freshdesk or HubSpot
Patience under pressure and a genuine willingness to help
A quiet home workspace, reliable fibre or LTE, and backup power
Comfortable working UK hours from home
What is on offer
A steady monthly salary, paid reliably
100% remote — work from anywhere in South Africa
Structured training and a supportive team lead
Long-term placement with a UK employer, supported by Remote Recruitment throughout
If you enjoy solving problems for people and want dependable remote work, apply and we will be in touch.
