We value diversity and appreciate every individual’s perspective, bringing together a diverse and inclusive workforce to drive innovation and success.

The role

As the Knowledge Content Creator, you will be responsible for developing, maintaining and improving high‑quality, accurate and user‑friendly content within the Knowledge Management System. Your work will directly support frontline customer service staff to deliver consistent, customer‑centric outcomes.

You will research and analyse information to translate complex material into clear, intuitive written resources, ensuring content meets user needs and aligns with established writing standards. By remaining informed of emerging issues, you will anticipate impacts on knowledge content and proactively refine material to enhance the customer and user experience.

You will contribute to content quality assurance by reviewing material, identifying improvement opportunities and providing advice to support accuracy, consistency and best practice. The role also involves participating in projects and working groups, collaborating with stakeholders and contributing to continuous improvement initiatives, including the development and communication of processes and support resources.
