The British Council builds connections, understanding and trust between people in the UK and other countries through arts and culture, education and the English language. We work in two ways – directly with individuals to transform their lives, and with governments and partners to make a bigger difference for the longer term, creating benefit for millions of people all over the world. We help young people to gain the skills, confidence and connections they are looking for to realise their potential and to participate in strong and inclusive communities. We support them to learn English, to get a high-quality education and to gain internationally recognised qualifications. Our work in arts and culture stimulates creative expression and exchange and nurtures creative enterprise. We connect the best of the UK with the world and the best of the world with the UK. These connections lead to an understanding of each other’s strengths and of the challenges and values that we share. This builds trust between people in the UK and other nations which endures even when official relations may be strained. We work on the ground in more than 100 countries. In 2019-20 we connected with 80 million people directly and with 791 million overall, including online and through our broadcasts and publications.Employment Type – Indefinite | Pay Band – PB 4/H | Location – Xinyi, Taipei, TaiwanRole Purpose▪ The main duty of an English Course Consultant is to secure excellent sales results and to provide a high-quality of customer service.The Consultant will be expected to act as a British Council ambassador and provide top quality services to all customers, meeting all Key Performance Indicators (KPls) and enabling the British Council to meet its sales and customer management targets.Main Accountabilities But Not Limited To The FollowingCustomer Management
