RESPONSIBILITIES
What you’ll be doing
Supporting our customers is at the heart of this role whether it’s via phone, video call or face to face. By using our range of products, services and propositions you’ll help to identify their needs and support them in accessing our product range. You’ll be able to answer a wide range of customer enquiries, including complex topics and referring customers to specialist advisers when you identify a need.
You’ll be an SME within your branch location, there to support colleagues with quality customer conversations. You’ll be available to support our vulnerable customers, using this specialist knowledge to be there for them when they need extra help.
Assisting our customers through all channels, you will develop skills to deliver the right outcomes for them, demonstrating a willingness to learn as you develop your understanding and skills across our non-advised product range. Being a good communicator is crucial, as you build a rapport with each customer to gain a better understanding of the different ways we can help them. By asking the right questions you’ll be able to discover the options open to them and explain our products and services in a way they understand. This is a fast paced and challenging role that we’re sure you will find rewarding.
You will have previous experience in identifying and meeting the needs of customers using your excellent knowledge of Nationwide’s products which are predominantly Credit Cards, Personal Loans, General Insurance and Current Accounts.
This role is jam-packed full of opportunities to use your existing knowledge and experience as well as benefiting from a comprehensive training and support package so you can grow and develop.
