Hi from the Instapro Group 👋🏼
We're the technology company behind a home services revolution. Our mission is to help tradespeople get the work they want and homeowners hire the tradespeople they need.
At Instapro, every team member’s perspective and experience advances our mission. We are committed to creating a workplace that reflects the communities we serve. We work hard to mitigate biases in our recruitment process and foster a welcoming and inclusive environment.
We’re looking for a customer support advisor to join our Customer Operations Team in Gateshead.

Our interviewing processes can differ slightly depending on the department.

The best way to prepare for an elevator interview is to go over our values.
