Job Description:

If you’re great with people, a Customer Service career in our Branch Network could be a great choice for you. As one of the biggest and most important teams at YBS, our Branch Network makes a huge impact on the success of our business. We always look for ways to give the best customer experience, make things more efficient and try new things. And because we’re right at the beginning of an exciting digital journey, our future has never looked more exciting - and neither has yours.

About the Role

As a Customer Service Advisor you’ll:

• Get to know our members and support them in finding the right products and services that can provide Real Help With Real Life - whether that’s saving for a gap year trip, buying a first home, or anything in between.
• Facilitate great conversations confidently through channel of choice, as you support our members in branch, over the phone and with the operation of their accounts online.
• Forget sales targets, and enjoy the freedom to do what’s right.

Here at YBS no two branches are the same, they each have their own characteristics and qualities that makes working there so special. Here is what the hiring manager had to say about Norwich Branch.

"Norwich is the hub branch of East Anglia. We have a large, highly experienced, and diverse team of colleagues who are all passionate about supporting customers with their variety of needs at first point of contact. Being one of the larger branches across the society means we get to try out lots of new things, and new ways of working. This means you will have exposure to a variety of business areas through the support we provide to the wider business, such as telephony and postal queries to name a few. In Norwich you will receive training through a dedicated onboarding journey which will enable you to service our customers’ needs and requirements through multiple channels at first point of contact, including face to face, post, online and telephone queries. As well as day to day tasks and activities, we strongly support individual personal growth and development. There will be opportunities to engage and work with other branches across the network, as well as taking part in community activities both in and out of the branch".

About You

• Demonstrating exceptional adaptability, thriving in dynamic environments, and embracing change with a positive attitude.
• Understanding why it’s important to celebrate different people with different skills, experiences, and opinions.

• Exceptional relationship management skills, capable of building and maintaining strong, positive connections with our members and colleagues alike
• Demonstrating a growth-mindset and making the most of the training and development we offer.
