Join HSBC: A Career with Opportunities and Support
If you’re looking for a career that will help you stand out, join HSBC, and fulfil your potential - whether you want a career that could take you to the top, or simply take you in an exciting new direction, HSBC offers opportunities, support and rewards that will take you further.
About the Role
The first direct Customer Care team was initially set up as a support function for our acutely vulnerable customer base, mainly with a view to help and support their day-to-day banking & transactional needs, as well as complex banking enquiries that require a more human and understanding approach to resolve. This role has evolved and you will also handle calls on our Bereavement and POA line, plus take core frontline calls. We are focused on protecting both our customers and the bank, and this will frequently involve holding complex and difficult conversations with our customers to understand how we can fully support them.
This rewarding opportunity allows for real job satisfaction through supporting our customers when they need us most.
Responsibilities
In this role you will:
- Take ownership of high complexity customer queries, supporting our financially vulnerable customer line.
- Also handle calls on our Bereavement line, POA line and take core frontline calls all through a blended line.
- Deliver an exceptional customer service whilst maintaining consistently high standards.
- Confidently handle elements of case management and risk management – making decisions to achieve the best possible outcome.
- Proactively introduce our customers to our digital channels to support self-service where appropriate.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
