User Support Specialist

How you’ll contribute to Accurx as a User Support Specialist…

User Support at Accurx are at the heart of the business. We support thousands of healthcare organisations to deliver care for over 60 million patients. We’re used by 98% of GP practices, 70% of NHS Trusts and >300,000 healthcare staff. With that comes an integral need to deliver a first class experience for our users and their patients. You'll be the first point of contact with users, and will give timely, friendly support for all of the products we provide to the NHS workforce.

Our support operation is valued highly. Everyone at Accurx does time on the frontline, including practice visits and user support shifts to ensure we stay close to our users. We view our User Support team as being at the centre of the company - you’ll work with developers, product teams, user research, growth, and everything in between.

Your day to day tasks, should you choose to accept this mission 🤝…

• You’ll be the first point-of-contact for our users, whether they get in touch by email or live web chat, providing responsive, effective and friendly support while building an understanding of their typical day, and the wider challenges they face.
• You’ll resolve product and technical queries across the entire product offering, speaking with a varied set of users from both Primary Care (GP, Pharmacy), Secondary Care (Hospitals, Community Trusts) and patients.
• You’ll communicate with users of different levels of technical ability and tailor your support to help resolve their issues, using phone calls and screen sharing when needed.

Building great resources

• Alongside your day-to-day support, you’ll always be on the lookout for ways we can be more effective and responsive in supporting our users. This could mean improving our external and internal resources, or suggesting improvements to team processes.
• You’ll balance delivering a first class experience when users get in touch, building great resources for self service support so they can access helpful information whenever they need it.
• As our products change, our resources need to be kept up to date. The resources we own are varied, so you could be creating training presentations for the rest of the team, macros we use to quickly reply to users, or gifs in a help centre article.

Get involved in all things user-focused at Accurx!

• As the team who spend the most time talking to users and understanding their interaction with the product, our User Support Specialists are involved in many areas outside of core support.
• We run a support buddying program where we guide team mates from around the company through a shift on Intercom, sharing insight and giving them an opportunity to hear directly from users.
• We work with colleagues across the business to share our knowledge about users and to deepen our understanding of the products we’re building.
• We close the feedback loop with our users, advocating for their needs with our product teams to give our users the best experience.
