We operate a hybrid working pattern after training which allows colleagues to gain a work life balance with the opportunity to work from office and home for part of the week.

In this role, you'll work in a fast-paced call centre, handling inbound calls from existing customers considering leaving Sky. You'll actively listen to understand their needs and provide the best possible solutions, ensuring they feel heard, valued, and appreciated.

Training and Development

Training and Development is hugely important to us which is why we’ll teach you all you need to know about our amazing products and how to deal with any challenge, no matter how big or small, so you can achieve your full potential as a Sales Advisor.

At Sky, our comprehensive 7-week training program is designed to fully prepare new starters for their role. It begins with classroom-based sessions, where employees become familiar with the role, systems, and products. This is followed by time in our Academy, where they handle live customer calls under the guidance of a Role Model. Both the training and Academy sessions are conducted entirely face-to-face in the office, from Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm. To ensure participants gain the most from the program, we ask that no holidays are taken during this period.
