300 jobs... but work at home
Service provider roles bring £5.8m boost
A TOTAL of 300 new jobs have been announced – and every employee will be expected to work from home.
The multi-million pound investment by service advisor expert Senee is opening up an operation they say will contribute more than £5.8million in additional salaries to the economy.
This equates to an average of around £20,000 per role annually such as agent, manager and support levels.
Sensee spokesman Rob Smale said: “Our skilled home-based service advisor team work for well-known brands on an outsourced basis, either as continuously available resources or to handle peaks in customer demand.
“Currently we employ about 700 staff across the UK, all of whom work from home. We offer the security of full employment contracts with guaranteed hours and with flexibility to choose workdays and times.”
Invest NI has offered £900,000 of support towards the jobs.
First Minister Arlene Foster and Deputy First Minister Michelle O’neill made the announcement yesterday.
Mrs Foster said: “Uniquely these are not limited by geography, they are accessible to everyone no matter where they live. Ms O’neill added: “These new jobs with Sensee provide a real option for people right across the North who will benefit from home working and give them an opportunity to get in to paid work and improve their quality of life.”
Recruitment and training are both completed online and candidates can apply at www.sensee.co.uk/ni-jobs.
