About this opportunity Do you want to be part of a team that makes a genuine difference to customers, businesses and communities? 

As one of our Customer Support colleagues, you’ll learn, grow and develop within an inclusive organisation with genuine values focussed on putting people first.

You could be in one of our branches helping our customers side by side, or working from home, doing your best to help the person at the other end of the line (we also connect via social media, web-chat and remote advice video calls).

You’ll learn to make the most of your best talent – helping people. You'll show you care and understand what matters to them and if you don't know the answer then you'll have access to a supportive team that do.

From Day 1, we’ll provide all the training and support you'll need. Join us, and as well as make a difference to customers, you'll enjoy a fulfilling career where you're free to be yourself. Great colleagues, transforming workspaces, potential hybrid working and a wide variety of career opportunities – you'll find them all here.  

About us    From building a truly sustainable business to creating a place where people love to work, we need colleagues who are up for the challenge of our bold ambitions. Who are excited to push boundaries and make change happen. Together, we can grow with purpose.  

What you’ll need

• Crucially, you're a people person – to be honest and genuine, caring about helping people with their finances (no previous financial services experience required)
• The ability to quickly build relationships to give customers a fantastic experience.
• The passion to put yourself in the customers' shoes, show empathy, act with care and integrity – take time to resolve queries and give our customers confidence in the service you’re providing. 
• The commitment to deliver on your promises and going above and beyond for your customers.
• A genuine teammate - collaborating closely with colleagues to ensure your customers' needs are met.
• If located in in one of our hybrid locations, you will need to meet our Homeworking criteria, for example, a quiet, private room at home, stable internet connection.  

About working for us

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture. 

We were one of the first major organisations to set goals for diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and create a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative. And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under-represented groups.

We’re disability confident. So, if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.    

We also offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

• A generous pension contribution of up to 15%
• An annual performance-related bonus
• Share schemes, including free shares
• Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping
• 22 days holiday, with bank holidays on top
• A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies
