Senior Assessor – Which? Trusted Trader
12 month Fixed term contract
Pay = £30,000 per annum
Based in Bristol City Centre
We have been rigorously testing products and services for over 50 years, now we're doing the same for traders. Just like the Which? Best Buy award, our Which? Trusted trader icon highlights the best traders out there.
Every Which? Trusted trader has been assessed and checked by Which? trading standards professionals, before being endorsed. So whatever you are looking for, whether it's a builder, plumber, gardener or mechanic, we'll help you find the right trader.
We’re not afraid to fail those who do not make the grade. Due to the high demands of the assessment, 1 in 4 traders do not pass. Only those who meet our high standards are credited with Which? Trusted trader status.
We're really proud to be working a number of highly regarded Trade Associations including the NICEIC and Worcester Accredited Installers.
What is on offer?
Our office is in the heart of the city centre and a stone’s throw from Cabot Circus and a short walk from Bristol Temple Meads station. A highly competitive salary , market leading benefits including 22 days annual leave (increasing to 25 after one year), Interest-free season ticket loans or a loan for a bike, and a pension scheme that increases to 8% after you’ve been here for a year and more. And you can work every day knowing that you’re playing your part in making consumers as powerful as the organisations they deal with.
What will you be doing?
The Senior Assessor will support the Assessor Manager in overseeing applications from traders. You’ll be responsible for providing support and expertise to ensure the delivery of a high quality assessment process. The Senior Assessor will also manage the annual reassessment process, risk alerts, compliance calls and will contribute to the sign of successful applications to the scheme.
Our brand means a lot to us therefore we’ll rely on you to act as an ambassador for Which? ensuring a world class customer experience is delivered. You’ll be expected to build long lasting relationships with our Traders and ensure the integrity of the Trusted Trader scheme.
