At **Aegon UK**, we are united through a single, clear purpose: Helping people live their best lives.

People are living longer than ever before, and at **Aegon UK** we're excited by the opportunities this brings. As a purpose-led business, we're focused on supporting our customers as they navigate through new stages of their lives and all the moments that matter.

Following a period of growth and transformation, we are excited to be growing our Customer Care team in our Edinburgh location.

**We Step Up**:As a Platform Administrator you’re on the front line, the face of our business, the person that our customers rely on to help them manage their financial wellbeing. You’ll answer inbound calls from our customers and help them use the Aegon Platform to manage their money.

**We Tune In**: We take responsibility for our customers satisfaction by listening to their needs and communicating in clear and easy to understand language. We are also hungry to learn and treat every day as a development opportunity. We get the best out of ourselves and each other.

We are a **Force For Good**:We help our customers with the big stuff, for the moments that matter: Pensions, Savings, and Investments. We do this through the Aegon Platform, an online service which lets our customers keep the important things in one place, so it’s easier for them to make decisions and plan for their future.

**We’ll train you**. We’re not looking for financial experts (though they are very welcome). When you join us, you’ll go straight into our Platform Academy and learn from some of our experts. Before you deal with customers, we’ll give you the skills and knowhow to delight and support them. All you need to bring is your hunger to learn, a drive to solve problems and the compassion to keep your customers wellbeing at the heart of every interaction.
