Swinton to expand Norwich call centre

An insurance retailer is defying the economic slump to expand its Norwich call centre workforce for the third time in a year.

Swinton, the UK's largest insurance high street retailer, is looking to take on 60 staff before Christmas to start work in January - adding to the 200 already employed in the office.

The Rosary Road call centre supports Swinton's online and offline businesses, both through the company's network of 470 branches across the UK and its online brands, its4me, Diva and Bullseye Insurance.

Swinton is searching for local talent to join its existing team.

Full and part-time positions are available with lots of evening shifts on offer to students or those trying to supplement their daytime jobs.

Kelly Ogley, Swinton's director of call centres, said "Swinton has been experiencing tremendous growth over the past year and this third recruitment drive is testament to that.

"The Norwich call centre is a great place to work, with lots of staff incentives and team competitions.

"We recently sent 10 of our top performers to Barcelona and we will be having more incentives like this in the new year."
