We are seeking Bilingual Call Centre Agents who are fluent in Spanish to provide contact-centre support to healthcare, home-care, and property-management businesses.

Fluency in both Spanish and English is essential for this role.

-   **Power Backup:** A reliable power backup solution - solar, an inverter, or a UPS - capable of sustaining your internet and workstation through load shedding and power outages is required. Applicants without one cannot be considered.
-   **Work Environment:** _This is a fully remote working role._

**Duties & Responsibilities**
