How you'll make a difference

Being a Customer Representative is about much more than answering calls.

Every customer is different. Two customers may contact us with what initially appears to be the same query, but their circumstances can mean completely different criteria, processes, actions or support requirements apply.

You’ll need to understand what the customer is trying to achieve, gather the right information, identify what's important, interpret detailed criteria and determine the correct next step.

That could mean completing an everyday savings or mortgage request, supporting a customer with our digital services, working through detailed eligibility criteria or identifying the correct route for a more complex mortgage journey.

Whatever your day brings, your work will really make a difference and you’ll feel proud of delivering positive outcomes for our customers.

• Ability to problem solve and apply logical reasoning to your actions
• Have strong communication and interpersonal skills and can build positive and relationships with customers and colleagues.
• Ability to handle high volumes of calls efficiently and with professionalism.
• Ability to manage own your workload and structure your day. Can prioritise and multi-task when required whilst completing tasks to a high standard.
• Show empathy and resilience when faced with demanding situations and can adapt to a wide variety of customer scenarios.
• Ability to process verbal and written information.
• Computer literate and is comfortable with Microsoft Word and basic Excel.
