Anybody who has watched as a burst pipe sends water pouring through the ceiling knows how stressful a domestic emergency can be. It's a fact that 86% of homeowners have suffered a domestic emergency at some point, but home emergencies aren't covered by most household insurance policies and it is often hard to find a reliable, affordable tradesman in an emergency.
These are precisely the needs that HomeServe set out to address when it was established in 1993. We built a network of experienced, committed contractors, offering customers the reassurance of approved engineers, a prompt response, generous cover and claims limits and the convenience of having one number to call in an emergency.
Over time, we have expanded our product range from our original plumbing and drainage cover to include electrics, gas and oil central heating, external water supply pipe, internal gas supply pipe, appliance repairs, pest infestations, locksmith service and glazing repairs.
We have also expanded our partner base, and now work with many major utilities, appliance manufacturers and other companies that have an affinity with our products.
Recognising that homeowners the world over face the same problems, we have expanded internationally and now operate in the UK, US, France, Spain and are test marketing in Italy and Germany. With over 10 million policies from 4.5 million customers, we are continuing to grow rapidly, following our clear strategy to become the first place people turn to for home emergencies and repairs.
Creating a fun, happy, collaborative culture is something we work hard to achieve at HomeServe.
You can expect lots of fun in a role with us from day one; that goes without saying. Whilst we work hard to build a service our Customers can rely on, we don’t forget the People that make it happen.
As a HomeServe person you’ll feel valued every day, whether you work on the frontline, or behind the scenes, you’ll focus on helping our Customers and putting their needs at the heart of absolutely everything you do; which feels great.
At HomeServe, we all have our own talents and areas of expertise, but together we’re united in a common purpose – to free our Customers from the worry and inconvenience of home emergencies and repairs.
As well as providing you a great career opportunity, we have so much more to offer. With strong community and charity links, we're always looking to get involved in something new and we pride ourselves on our People engagement levels.
We value our People and all of the hard work they put in so we are constantly looking for ways to give something back to them; our People benefits scheme gives us one more way to say 'thank you' to the HomeServe family.
We are committed to a culture where our People enjoy coming to work because they can be themselves and thrive and that our People are representative of our Customers and the communities we serve. #wearehomeserve #bettertogether
I have been working at HomeServe UK full-time
Pros
Everyone is helpful. The vision of where it's going next is bang on and simple. They genuinely engage and care about its people. Expect high standards so you really do get out what you put in (and I love that)! Rewarding job and supportive manager.
Cons
None that I can think of right now. But anyone who doesn't want to engage or put in the hard work - then this is simply not for you (and - quite rightly - that's not the HomeServe way!)
Advice to Management
Be the enablers for change, engagement and communications. Overall very engaged with huge portfolios but alignment could be a little better.
Application
I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at HomeServe UK (Nottingham, England) in January 2015.
Interview
One stage interview via an agency, then a meeting with the HRD and a director. I had a chat for about an hour and was shown around the building. I met some members of the team and some of the managers. There was a psychometric personality profiling tool that I was asked to complete.
