Customer Representative

How you'll help us live our purpose

We've been helping our members save for their future and buy a home of their own since 1845. By joining us, you'll play a big role in helping us to put home ownership within reach of more people, generation after generation.

It's a purpose that drives everything we do and one we're proud of. And you can play your part too as this strategic role will ensure our Customer division is set up for success when making or receiving change which impacts both our customers and colleagues.

How you'll make a difference.

Calls are predominantly inbound, and you'll deal with brokers or solicitors who are acting on behalf of customers or directly with customers themselves. Taking ownership of the call, you'll aim to resolve customer queries as efficiently and effectively as possible whilst recognising that on occasions you may need to liaise with other teams and arrange a call back to provide the right solution.

What you'll bring to the role:

• The ability to communicate effectively and build positive relationships.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Be proactive and deliver exceptional customer experience
• Demonstrate a strong level of resilience when working in a fast -paced customer service environment
• Ability to problem solve and make decisions
• Computer literate (able to comfortably use Word and basic Excel)
• Maintain attention to detail whilst working under pressure
• Demonstrate determination to succeed and achieve great results

And in return, you'll get the best from us:

• An annual colleague bonus of up to 12%
• Hybrid working with 60% of your time at home
• Matched pension contributions of up to 10%
• 26 days holiday, plus bank holidays and holiday purchase scheme of up to 5 days each year
• Colleague Mortgage and Saver products
• Cycle to Work scheme
• 2 days' volunteering per year

We'll give you a place to belong with the support to learn, develop and shape a meaningful career.

Start date is 27th January 2025
