Contact Centre Team Leader Job Description

Often the importance of developing a really good Contact Centre Team Leader Job Description is an afterthought for many small to medium-sized organisations, which can make recruiting the best candidates challenging, risky and troublesome.

While for many large or enterprise-sized organisations, job descriptions written by the Human Resources and/or Legal Departments can tend to focus much more on the legal safeguards to protect the organisation, rather than getting the best candidate for your Contact Centre Team Leader role.

When you create a Contact Centre Team Leader job description (or any job description for any other role) you need to find the right balance in outlining the role and responsibilities of the position without giving someone the feeling they need to get legal advice before applying for the job!

You need to remember that not only are you looking for the best candidate for you, but job hunters are also looking for the best fit for themselves too.

With this in mind, you want your job description to be seen as part of the advertisement to help prospective candidates get a good feel for your company, and an understanding if they are a good fit for your company.

So, don’t be afraid of creating a more detailed job description that clearly describes the roles and responsibilities of the role to attract and recruit the most highly qualified candidates that would love to work with your company.

You also want to ensure that job expectations are established and met later on when you hire the right candidate. So, a clear understanding of what the requirements of the position are also builds the framework for new Team Leaders to work more efficiently and effectively.

It also establishes the parameters of evaluating performance and supports greater accountability when it comes to performance reviews.

The vaguer or loosely a job description is written, the more likely it can be open to interpretation, which can cause unnecessary and/or costly interactions – specifically if you need to address poor performance or termination issues.

Well written job descriptions establish a solid set of expectations that prospective employees understand are required of them, and on how their performance will be measured.

This alone is why getting sign off from the Human Resources and Legal teams is critical.

And although in most jurisdictions job descriptions aren’t legally binding unlike an employment contract, they can still be really helpful in protecting the company if any litigation arises!

Not to mention, establishing an employee’s status with respect to any applicable laws regarding their employment status (permanent, contracted, casual or part time) and associated wages and entitlements.

Areas to include in your Call Centre Team Leader Job Description

You need to accurately outline the duties and responsibilities of the position and at the start specify:

  • Job Title
  • Reporting Lines – direct and indirect
  • Role’s Purpose – explain the importance of the position and its value to the organisation
  • Duties and Responsibilities – accurately explain the general and specific responsibilities
  • List the main KPIs that will be required to be met
  • Required Qualifications – identify particular skills or abilities that are necessary
  • Preferred Qualifications – good to have but not critical
  • Working conditions – outline specific operating hours and environment
