Candidate requirements and evidence
Exceptional customer service and resolution of complex enquiries Choose a case that needed investigation, empathy and a clear explanation of the available options. Describe the checks you made, the advice you gave and how you followed the enquiry through to a fair, accurate outcome.
Organisation and management of competing priorities Explain how you assessed urgency, kept track of outstanding matters and met deadlines while handling new enquiries. Give the panel a sense of the workload and explain how you preserved service quality.
Verbal and written communication Show how you translated a complicated issue into clear advice for a customer or colleague. Include how you checked understanding, documented the advice and kept relevant people informed.
Accurate records and effective use of systems Describe the records you maintained and the checks that made them reliable. Explain how those records supported a handover, consistent advice or timely resolution of the customer’s issue.
Collaboration, coaching and support for colleagues Use a time you helped a colleague handle a difficult matter or improve their knowledge. Specify the guidance you provided and the change in confidence, accuracy or consistency that followed.
Judgement within policies, procedures and legislative requirements Explain how you established the applicable rule, recognised the limits of your authority and escalated an issue when needed. Link your decision to both the customer’s circumstances and the requirements you had to follow.
Continuous improvement Identify a repeated enquiry or service problem you noticed, the change you helped introduce and how you assessed its effect. A clearer knowledge article, better handover or reduced rework can provide useful evidence when you explain your contribution.
