Customer Representative

It is an important role within the branch, and we are the gateway to protecting and looking after our members working closely as a team. **Some branches in this area are closed to the public on certain days as you will be helping members on the phones**.

We are looking for future talent in our communities to work at our branches in the **Chichester area**. With this in mind, we will be conducting interviews to build a Talent bank in this location.

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

If there is not a role suitable at the time of interview, and your assessment is successful, your details will be held in the talent bank and given priority for any future vacancies at the same job title and role responsibilities for the assessment you passed. You will be active in our talent bank for 6 months.

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.

**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 members on our digital services and easier ways to bank with us. **A large part of the role will be dealing with customer queries online and via the phone and face to face.**

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.

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

**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.
