Our purpose is to use the power of communications to make a better world. For each other, for our customers, for society and our communities. We need you to help us do this.

The role is based at the following Openreach office location – Cardiff, Stadium House

Why this role matters? Openreach is driving Britain’s digital revolution by providing the infrastructure that connects tens of millions of homes and businesses across the UK. With a network that covers 30 million customers and 8 million broadband lines, our communications keep friends and families in touch, ensure essential services are delivered and enable businesses and global markets to grow.

We will support you all the way. Including being trained on advanced computer and telephony systems.

Benefits

An excellent starting salary of £24,360 plus 10% bonus (Potential earning of over £26,796)

Whilst being flexible is important to respond to our customers’ demand, we also understand the need for a good work-life balance; so where possible there’s a choice of start and finish times according to personal and business needs, including part time working.

You’ll also enjoy a diverse work environment and be supported in your ongoing career development.

We also offer a wide range of benefits including:
