Energy supplier E.ON Next is looking to hire 1,300 new staff - and Nottingham is one of the places set to benefit. The business said these roles are permanent positions for which previous experience of the energy industry will not be essential, with the jobs to be shared between Nottingham, Leicester and Bolton, among others.
It is hiring specialist workers who are trained to look after residential and small business customers. People who are tasked with helping customers through social media will also be hired during the recruitment push.
The business is also looking for staff to help recruit new customers and others who specialise in different areas, including supporting customers with prepayment meters. “We do things a little differently at E.ON Next – our energy specialists are dedicated to caring for their own group of customers so they can get to know them better and do more to help them, which is all the more important in these challenging times,” said Ramona Vlasiu, the company’s chief operating officer.
