What a typical day looks like in your new role-

As a Customer Service Representative in Irish Life’s Customer Service Centre in Dundalk, you will be part of a large, multi‑team centre supporting customers across our Life, Pensions and Savings & Investments businesses. Our teams play a key, customer‑facing role, helping customers at every stage of their journey with Irish Life.

We support customers across their full lifecycle: from arranging Financial Adviser appointments and processing new business applications, to welcoming new customers, supporting them throughout the life of their plan via phone, email, webchat and digital channels, and providing dedicated help at claim and complaint stage. Our teams work together as one centre to make sure customers are supported at every step.

In many teams, a significant proportion of your time will be spent speaking with customers on the phone, complemented by email, webchat and administrative activities. The exact balance will depend on the team you join and may change over time in line with customer and business needs, but being comfortable and confident on the phone will remain a core expectation for everyone in the Customer Service Centre.
