Job description

You'll start your journey in one of our branches, providing face-to-face support to customers. While you'll handle some everyday banking tasks, the heart of this role is helping people through important moments - offering reassurance, guidance and practical support. This could include supporting someone through a bereavement, resolving a fraud concern, helping a vulnerable customer, or building confidence with digital banking.
