Customer Services Advisor - Permanent
At Costa Coffee, we’re on a mission to reimagine coffee experiences across the globe. From bustling cities to local communities, we’re creating meaningful coffee moments, powered by innovation and driven by purpose.
Join our team as a Customer Services Advisor and deliver a world-class experience to every Costa customer across multiple channels, including calls, email, social media, and live chat.

With inspiring experiences, development programmes, and our apprenticeship scheme, your career can grow far beyond the day-to-day.
What you’ll do
Being a Customer Service Advisor is about so much more than bringing our coffee to the world. It’s your chance to stir up real success - which means you’ll be:
• Deliver exceptional customer experiences by handling calls, emails, live chat, and social media enquiries, resolving queries quickly and professionally at first point of contact.
• Take ownership of customer issues from start to finish, using CRM systems and tools to investigate, resolve, and record cases in line with service standards and performance targets.
• Confidently manage a wide range of queries, from everyday questions to complex complaints, applying the right judgement, tone, and goodwill gestures to turn customers into loyal advocates.
• Work collaboratively with internal teams and partners to investigate and resolve issues, ensuring the best possible outcome for every customer.
• Thrive in a fast-paced, multi channel environment, balancing multiple conversations at once while adapting to new processes, campaigns, and business initiatives.
Who you are
It’s your unique ingredients we’re interested in:
• Previous contact centre experience with a strong understanding of service recovery, confident handling challenging situations and turning customer feedback into positive outcomes.
• A natural communicator with excellent written and verbal skills, able to show empathy, use the right tone, and build rapport across multiple channels.
• Calm, proactive, and solutions-focused, with the ability to problem-solve effectively and make sound decisions in a fast-paced environment.
• Digitally confident with good IT skills, able to navigate CRM systems and quickly learn new tools, processes, and initiatives.
• A self motivated team player who lives the brand values of passion, trust, warmth, and courage, and can collaborate and influence others to deliver the best customer experience.
So, why Costa?
We didn’t become a global coffee brand by sitting back. When you work here, you join a community that values passion, progression, and integrity with some brilliant perks to sweeten the deal.

• An annual discretionary bonus scheme, based on business results and individual contribution.
• A smart pension that saves you money on tax and national insurance, and matches your contributions up to 10%
• The Costa Financial Support Fund, supporting team members who find themselves in unexpected financial pressure
• 50% discount in all Costa-owned stores, and 25% off in other participating stores
• Private medical cover thanks to our Private Healthcare scheme
