"We want to tempt high calibre bright sparks who are the very best in their profession to build a long-term career with us. We are known for investing in our people and this is exactly our plan in expanding the team at Livingston."

All Sky employees receive free Sky+HD, Broadband and Talk, as well as training and personal development plans.

"Our customer management platform is critical to our ability to provide Sky customers with only the very best service, which is why it is important that we have the right people with the right skills to look after it.

"Sky will offer full induction training and on-going support, meaning successful applicants are armed with the skills and knowledge they need to succeed at Sky."
