- Go above and beyond to deliver exceptional service
At HSBC, we prioritise coaching and development. You’ll have access to our learning platform, as well as opportunities to grow your career while receiving comprehensive training tailored to your role.
Within This Role, You Will
- Tactfully engage with customers as the first point of contact, taking ownership of their enquiries and delivering exceptional service.
- Educate customers on HSBC’s digital services and reinforce fraud awareness.
- Support vulnerable customers, determining the best way to assist them based on their individual needs.
- Address complex banking issues to ensure our customers feel supported and empowered in their choices.
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.
