St Ives, United Kingdom Nationwide Building Society Full time
At Nationwide, a Customer Representative role is having the ability to best support our customers with our great services, across all our channels . From transactions on the till, allocated time handling inbound calls from customers, to supporting product applications through digital sales. Providing first class service in person, via phone and online - but don't worry you will be trained up on this.

It is an important role within the branch, and we are the gateway to protecting and looking after our customers working closely as a team.

We need a Customer Representative for our branch in St Ives Cambridgeshire.

This branch is closed to the public every Thursday as you will be helping customers on the phones. This role is a 12 month fixed term contract working full time, 35 hours per week, Monday to Saturday.

If this role is advertised as part time the salary will be pro rata.

You'll need to be within a 45minute commute of the branch you're applying to work in, and here's the good news. Whilst major banks continue to close branches, we're keeping ours open. Nationwide's commitment to the High Street means we now have the UK's largest network, with over 600 branches. So if the location you're considering is outside the 45 minutes then please check our other vacancies that are closer to you.

Your training will be based virtually in branch.

Our training pathway is designed to ensure you are successful in your role and the first 3 weeks are really important to your career journey with us. With this in mind, within those first few weeks, we ask that no holiday is taken.

If we receive a high volume of relevant applications, we may close the advert earlier than the advertised date, so please apply as soon as you can.
What you'll be doing

What is important is to know every branch is different, and we are all in this together working to have the best version of our branches

What can't a Customer Representative do This is the great part about this role, it's so versatile. There is an opportunity to work on the counter completing transactions and educating customers on our digital services and easier ways to bank with us. A large part of the role will be dealing with Customer queries though our various channels including online and via the phone. Working in this branch 1/2 days of your role will include taking customer calls only.

We build up our knowledge day in day out to ensure we can answer all our customers queries. They are the most important part of our day.
About you

We're not just looking for your experience and skills. We're also interested in who you are as a person. Why? Because our customers are made up of so many different kinds of people and we want our employees to be just as diverse.

Are you someone who really does want to make a difference for our customers? Working for a building society you will have the opportunity to change someone's life for the better. You'll take care of our customers from guiding them through online banking to discussing our range of services whilst adapting our style to suit all our customer's needs. You need to be comfortable using digital tools and applications.

We are the front line in protecting our customers, building our society

Our Customer First behaviours are all about putting customers and members at the heart of how we work together. You can strengthen your application by showing the behaviours that resonate with you, and how you might have already demonstrated these.
  • Say it straight - This is about being honest and direct with good intent and saying what needs to be said in the room. It's also about being clear, precise, and using language that we and, importantly, our customers and members can understand.
  • Push for better - This is about aiming high and constantly looking for better in how we work together and serve our customers and members.
  • Get it done - This is about prioritising what will have the greatest impact, being decisive and taking accountability for delivering on the end-to-end outcome.

We know applying for jobs can sometimes feel like you're sending an application into a black hole. We review each application individually. So, it's a good idea to call out your most relevant experience on your application to give yourself the best chance.

What makes us different

Nationwide is the world's largest building society. With over 15 million customers, we have a relationship with almost a quarter of the UK's population. We've got the scale to compete with the big banks, but we're not a bank.

As a building society, we're owned by our members - that's our customers who have their current account, mortgage or savings with us. It means we can do things differently to deliver our Purpose - Banking - but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society.

When you work at Nationwide, you can experience that difference for yourself. You'll be part of a high-performing, purpose-driven organisation that offers rewarding career experiences and a highly competitive range of benefits to match. You'll also be joining us at an important time as we seek to reach more and more people in the UK. We want everyone in the UK to know that they don't have to bank with a bank. They can choose a modern mutual instead.
