Pets at Home’s vision, “To create a better world for pets and the people who love them”, is about to be realised further as we enhance our overall offering to pets and owners, through the introduction of our insurance product.
We are embarking on a mission to redefine the personal insurance experience through data-driven innovation and advanced technology, with a wrap-around customer experience that embodies our ethos and values.
About the Role
We’re growing our new Insurance business and looking for a Senior Customer Account Specialist who combines expertise, empathy and confident decision‑making to support customers through the account‑recovery journey. If you enjoy working in a regulated environment, managing overdue or at‑risk accounts and finding fair, sustainable solutions, this role offers the chance to make a meaningful impact.
As a senior member of the team, you’ll take ownership of more complex and sensitive cases, including high‑risk and challenging account‑recovery situations. You’ll work with customers who may be experiencing financial difficulty or vulnerability, guiding them toward the right outcomes with clarity, care and professionalism. You’ll also mentor junior colleagues, provide insight to improve our recovery processes and help maintain accuracy, fairness and regulatory integrity in every decision.
As Senior Customer Account Specialist, you will be responsible for:
Resolving complex outstanding balance queries, chargebacks, cancellations and repayment arrangements
Holding sensitive conversations with empathy, guiding customers toward fair solutions while meeting FCA and Consumer Duty requirements
Processing policy changes, reinstatements, adjustments and data updates with exceptional accuracy
Maintaining audit‑ready records and ensuring data integrity across systems
Supporting the Service Operations Lead with day‑to‑day team oversight
Coaching and mentoring junior colleagues on systems, communication skills, objection handling and call quality
Collaborating with Training, Quality, Claims, Underwriting and Complaints teams to resolve complex cases and improve processes
Handling early‑stage complaints, contributing to root‑cause analysis and tracking outcomes in line with FCA guidance
Identifying service, process and technology improvements — helping us deliver efficient, compassionate, customer‑first experiences

Strong working knowledge of Consumer Duty, GDPR, vulnerability and complaints regulation
Outstanding verbal and written communication skills, with confidence handling sensitive and complex customer scenarios
Proven ability to coach, mentor and support the development of others
Excellent attention to detail, accuracy and confidence working with CRM, policy admin, live chat and telephony systems
Familiarity in automation, AI‑assisted support or QA/process improvement welcomed
Genuine empathy for customers — especially those facing financial or emotional challenges
Strong problem‑solving skills and emotional intelligence
A proactive, delivery‑focused approach that helps the team meet service and quality targets
Commitment to doing the right thing for pets, their owners and the business
Why join us?
