Customer Service Advisor
What you'll do
The role of a Customer Service Representative is to provide our customers with an outstanding service we can all be proud of, by taking ownership of customers’ transactional or service requests and answering specific product queries. Our Customer Service Representatives also educate our customers around HSBC self-service devices and actively speak to them around HSBC’s digital platforms, giving them the choice of how they wish to bank with us.
We’re looking for people who are passionate about delivering an outstanding customer experience, people who are ambitious and have a helpful personality. Previous Customer Service experience is helpful but is not essential, as what we’re really interested in is someone who can hold a conversation and who has a genuine passion for going above and beyond for customers – everything else we can teach you!
At HSBC we’re passionate about coaching and developing our people, you’ll have access to our learning platform and the opportunity to develop yourself and your career further.
Within this role you’ll:
- Provide exceptional face-to-face customer service in a timely manner whilst working in a fast-paced busy Branch environment and adhering to our policies and procedures
- Process a wide range of transactions, whilst maintaining a high degree of accuracy
- Have excellent attention to detail
- Play a supporting role in educating our customers around HSBC self-service devices and alternative digital banking platforms
- Collaborate as part of the dynamic Branch team and actively seek to improve workflows and processes to make banking with HSBC easier for our customers
What do I need to be successful?
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.
