Working For Debt Free Direct
Before you apply, you’ll want to know what it’s like to work here. Please see some quotes below from Debt Free Direct employees:
“I enjoy working at Fairpoint because everyday is different. I feel that hard work is recognised here and this was proven when I was promoted from Administrator to Senior Administrator. I have been given opportunities to shine in different areas and also the support to develop my skills in order to progress. The people at Fairpoint really do care and this is shown through the work that they do!”
Senior Administrator, Admin Bridge
“A friendly but professional culture is encouraged whilst giving the customer the best service possible. One particular aspect I like about working for Debt Free Direct is the fact that they tend to promote from within the Company. There are opportunities to move to alternative positions and these are actively promoted across the business. A great Company to work for.”
Sales Advisor, Money Savings Team
“I joined the Fairpoint group over three years ago and I haven’t looked back. I started within the Supervisory Department as an Administrator before moving into Lawrence Charlton as a Client Liaison Officer. I have now progressed into an Operational Trainer role for Debt Management which gives me great satisfaction as my colleagues are all fantastic!”
Operataional Trainer, Lawrence Charlton
“The past two years at Fairpoint have been the most productive, rewarding and well spent years of my working life. I started as a Debt Adviser on the Contact Centre, progressed to a Team Expert then achieved a Sales Manager position late 2011. It’s a Fantastic group of people that I manage and work with and I enjoy passing on my experience to motivate the people around me.”
Sales Manager, Contact Centre
“I work within the Drafting team at Debt Free Direct and find the work very interesting, as no two cases are the same. I enjoy helping people and I find the call I have with our clients can make a big difference in their lives. I also enjoy the team spirit within Debt Free Direct as a whole and especially within the Drafting team. I find that everybody genuinely helpful and when I first came to the company this made all the difference and I felt at ease straight away.”
