Job Description

About the role

Would you like to be part of a team who has won Best Regional Building Society for 9 years running? A team who believes that keeping financial advice on our high streets is important for everyone in our local communities.

Do you thrive in a face-to-face customer focused environment?

If so, our Customer Adviser role could be the perfect fit for you.

Utilising your outstanding people skills, you will be engaging with our customers on a daily basis, taking the time to listen and really understand their financial needs and goals.

Every day is different, from opening and setting up the tills ready for the working day ahead, making customer appointments, processing customer transactions at the counter, assisting in the opening of savings accounts to cashing up and closing at the end of the day!

But, amongst all of the busy day to day duties, taking the time to get the kettle on and have a cuppa with your colleagues is also very important to us!

The hours of work are 14 hours per week working between Monday - Friday. We are happy to have a discussion about which days work best for you.

A natural team player, you will enjoy working closely with your branch colleagues, ensuring as a team that you deliver an outstanding customer experience whilst supporting the needs of our Society.

We understand you may not have worked in financial services before, and that's OK, but the desire to learn and develop new skills will be important to us as you flourish in your new role.

In return, we'll provide you with a tailored 12 week training programme in one of dedicated training hubs, development conversations and opportunities to grow and progress your career with us.
