Remote Recruitment is hiring an Email Support Specialist for a UK-based employer, fully remote from South Africa. You will own a UK company’s email support queue — clear written answers, tidy ticket hygiene and response times that hold.

This suits a strong writer who likes resolving things properly the first time and wants a long-term career with a UK business from home in South Africa.
Key responsibilities

- Answer customer emails clearly and accurately within agreed response times

- Investigate issues and follow them through to resolution

- Keep ticket records, tags and notes accurate

- Escalate complex cases with a clear written summary

- Spot recurring problems and flag them to the team

- Contribute to help articles and saved reply templates

What you'll need

- Experience in an email, ticket or written customer support role

- Experience with a helpdesk tool such as Zendesk, Freshdesk or Intercom

- Excellent written English with a natural, professional tone

- Comfortable working to response-time targets

- A reliable fibre connection, a working laptop and a quiet place to work

Nice to have

- Experience supporting a UK or international customer base

- Familiarity with a knowledge base or help centre

- Experience with live chat alongside email

What's on offer

- 100% remote — work from anywhere in South Africa

- Working hours of 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST), Monday to Friday

- Long-term placement with a stable UK employer

- Ongoing support from the Remote Recruitment team throughout your placement

If this sounds like your kind of role, apply with your CV and we'll be in touch.
