Job description
What we expect from you:
An insight into what you’ll be doing:

No two days are ever the same. Once fully trained (don’t worry, we hold your hand all the way), you could be chatting to our customers on the phone, via live chat or email about anything from the best product to buy to suit their needs, chasing a customer delivery, helping to resolve a problem if a damaged parcel is received; to dealing with a payment query or a lost parcel. To say the day goes quickly would be an understatement!

We think we are so lucky to help many of our customers during what is one of the most special times of their lives. You could be speaking with an excited grandparent, a nervous partner or an expectant parent who needs help buying those essential maternity items.

Our ethos means you are empowered to do the right thing by our customers, and we work really hard to put things right when they go wrong. We all pull together to find better ways of helping our customers. We’re great at supporting each other when we’re under pressure and we love to celebrate and share our successes.

We take pride when we really get it right and we love to make a difference to our customer’s day.

A day in the life
  • In the morning you could be talking to our UK, Irish or international customers via inbound calls.
  • In the afternoon you could be responding to all forms of social media contact.
  • Maybe you could spend your day chatting to many customers via Live Chat. How many chats you can answer is up to you.
  • Our lovely store teams often need help and call our CS team.
  • Sometimes we must process returned goods for exchange or refund.
  • If we have time you might find yourself assisting our CS Manager or Team Leader with specific customer service projects.
What we look for in you:
What we look for in you

Passion, enthusiasm, energy and adaptability are some of the most important things we look for in all of our CS team. It’s so important that you have a desire to support, empathise and understand the unique circumstances many of our customers can be in when pregnant or just after having a baby. You must have a natural nurturing attitude


Being able to’ really’ listen to our customers’ needs and have the ability to communicate in the most effective way to reach the best resolution is key to our success – so you must be a compassionate listener.


We want you to be excited, knowing that we will train and support you to feel empowered to be brilliant. You will have the satisfaction of amazing customer feedback, because the service you’ve delivered is why that customer will keep on coming back.


Just to give you a taste of our culture, we’ll be looking for you to:
Be a brand ambassador, ensuring that our values and ethos are never compromised
Be honest and respectful
Work collaboratively
Talk openly and actively listen
Take ownership of all aspects of the role

The Team
Many in our team have been with us for a long time – years! They have a wealth of knowledge which offers great comfort and support to our newest members. A team is only as good as everyone within it and we support each other through many work and personal experiences. Working as a united team is one of our biggest strengths, something we have proved remains strong even whilst remote working with a little help from technology. It can be very busy in CS and we can at times feel the pressure, but we never forget to support each other and make sure everyone is OK at the end of the day!

Remote Working:
This is an option we can support with this role. You will need to have an environment in your home where you can concentrate and not get distracted. It is important you have good internet access, and our IT team will assess the quality of the broadband in your local area and ensure all the equipment you need is readily available.

Your team are available at the click of a button; however, you must also be comfortable working in an environment where you are required to work on your own and have the ability to manage your workload with minimal direction and guidance.

The benefits.:
  • We believe R&R is important so for each year you’re with us, you have an extra day’s holiday (up to 10 additional days)
  • Why work on your Birthday? Have it off!
  • Helping plan for the future - contributory pension scheme
  • Get on the move - cycle to work scheme
  • Support for planning your finances - JoJo saving scheme
  • Being mindful – Health and Wellbeing Hub
  • Having a great time - fabulous social events
  • Supporting our communities – volunteer days
  • We love our products! Up to 40% discount for you to enjoy
  • “It’s up to you” learning environment - ongoing training and educational development initiatives and opportunities.
Who we are:
We’re a multi-channel retailer of baby and children’s wear, nursery products, gifts and toys with nearly 90 beautiful stores in the UK and Ireland. From humble beginnings our teams have expanded to almost 900 people across all our sites.

What makes us so successful? Well… it’s our passion for our people, our customers and our commitment to running an ethical and sustainable company. Every employee is important, so taking care of each other and being a kind person is central to our ethos. Add this to our fantastic designs, innovative products, our attention to detail and never-ending pursuit of high standards means we have built a company that makes each of us proud.

The most valuable thing we can do in this world is to create ethical employment in an environment which encourages diversity and individuality: to work in a sustainable way that protects our planet and respects our people. That’s JoJo.

This is an ongoing temporary contract, to be reviewed on or around February 2023
