ABOUT US

Spreadex has been a trusted name in sports and financial spread betting for over 25 years. Since expanding into fixed odds betting in 2010 and CFD trading in 2017, we remain the only global operator to offer all these services under a single brand.

Following a quarter-century of sustained profitability, we’re entering an exciting new phase of growth across both our sports and financial divisions. This ambitious expansion is backed by a significant increase in our marketing investment and the recent acquisition of Sporting Index.

This role offers a unique opportunity to join a dynamic and growing team at our vibrant St Albans office, just outside London. The position offers a hybrid working model, combining both office-based and remote work.

Our office is based in St Albans, Hertfordshire with a fast and simple commute from London and the surrounding area:

• 20 minutes from London St Pancras/Kings Cross by direct train

• Regular services also run from Farringdon, City Thameslink, and Blackfriars

• Easy access from the M1, A1(M), and M25

ABOUT THE POSITION

As part of our continued expansion, Spreadex are looking to hire a Customer Service Advisor to join our modern offices in St Albans, Hertfordshire. To coincide with our growth, we are expanding the customer support department which now operates across extended hours seven days per week (including evenings, weekends and bank holidays), assisting with queries, bet placements and the setup of new accounts.
