You'll be experienced in workforce planning, contact centre operations, and coaching teams to exceed performance targets - especially during those critical out-of-hours periods when customer care is still paramount.

• Experience in contact/control centre operations, especially within a high-volume environment
• Strong workforce planning and real-time resource management skills

• A flexible and adaptable mindset - you'll be working across shifts, sometimes independently and remotely
• Confidence in using call centre systems, reporting tools, and Microsoft Office applications
• A positive, can-do attitude and a genuine desire to help others

THE ROLE

As an Out of Hours Manager, you'll oversee the operational success of our Appello Control Centre team outside of traditional business hours. You'll manage staffing, shift patterns, workforce planning, and performance metrics to ensure top-tier service delivery and SLA compliance.

You'll also work closely with key stakeholders and external partners, supporting contract implementation, relationship management, and ongoing client satisfaction. You'll play a vital role in ensuring that our service is as effective at midnight as it is at midday.
