Overview:

Victoria Lloyd
Sanctus

--

  • Full time/Start in January 2019 but ideally you’ll pop in for a few days in December
  • Sanctus employee no.8
  • Mission led, values driven business transforming mental health.

Description

Our vision is to put the world’s first mental health gym on the high street, but right now we’re putting Sanctus in the workplace. With people spending more time than ever at work and work having a huge impact on people’s mental health, we are incredibly passionate about mental health in the workplace.

Sanctus currently works with businesses to provide Sanctus coaching and creates a safe space within a business for people to talk about their mental health.

In this role, we’re looking for someone to give Sanctus users a seamless experience that helps them get their 45 minutes session with a Sanctus Coach. Right now, this job combines two focuses. Operations delivery and customer service. Our view is that you’ll grow to focus on one as Sanctus matures. But for now, we need someone who can help on both.

We never take for granted just how brave Sanctus users are. Owning your mental health and choosing to take time out of your work day to talk to a coach is a huge step towards being the most authentic version of you.

When things go wrong, people can’t find their coach or their session time isn’t in their diary, barriers are created to people finding their safe space. Your role will be focused on getting the Sanctus user to their session and ensuring the experience feels as easy as opening up to one of our amazing coaches.

Alongside this, you’ll help us to deliver our operation seamlessly. Tickets will come from both users and coaches. Dates need to be moved, planned and you’ll be our Sanctus coaches first port of call for organising their diaries and managing our ever-growing timetable of coaching days.

The right person for this role

Customer service will be your bread and butter. You know how to be warm and friendly whilst still being direct and clear in your communications. You’ve had experiences dealing with customers, getting through tickets or a to-do list that needs in the moment action. You’ll help us build our ‘customer service’ philosophy and will be our eyes and ears into what problems are facing Sanctus users.

You’ll be good at organising your own time as well as the schedules of others. You’ll be a prioritisation master, with a keen eye for what is urgent and what can be worked on later.

Naturally, you’ll love our mission and be passionate about mental health. But we want to hear from you on how you can help grow our business and that you’re passionate about supporting the Sanctus user in their mental health journey.

Responsibilities

  • Owning the Sanctus ‘Customer Service’ desk. Answering tickets via email and being available by phone for urgent needs from users
  • Managing incoming queries from Sanctus coaches on date swaps, availability changes and last minute ‘fires’ (sickness, lateness, miscommunication)
  • Managing our coaching day timetables — being our eyes and ears for Sanctus in the workplace
  • Helping to create the Sanctus ‘Customer Service’ philosophy. You’ll work alongside the Partner Team and Vic, our Head of Ops, to sculpt how we talk to users and build policies to help our operation run smoothly
  • Reporting on attendance and trends across our uptake of partner days
