Teleperformance creates 400 jobs in Newry and Bangor

Teleperformance has more than 2,500 staff at its Newry centre

Contact centre firm Teleperformance is recruiting 400 staff in County Down.

The vacancies at its Newry and Bangor sites include customer service and "client executive" roles.

The French-owned company said many of the jobs were "more aligned to a junior account management role than the traditional contact centre agent role".

Teleperformance UK chief executive Alistair Niederer said they wanted "talented people with a passion for delivering excellent customer service."

He added: "We are currently enjoying a high level of growth across the UK and are proud to be creating such a boost in Northern Ireland with these vacancies."
