Job Purpose
Join HSBC as a Customer Service Apprentice in Maxim Park (Motherwell). Banking supports everyday decisions – from paying bills to managing unexpected costs. In our Contact Centres, you’ll be one of the first people customers speak to, helping them getting things sorted with confidence. You don’t need banking experience to apply. If you’re curious, enjoy helping people and can communicate clearly, we’ll teach you the rest.
Who you are
Whether you’re starting, restarting, or looking to change your career, you might be a great fit if you:
- Enjoy speaking to different people and helping solve problems
- Stay calm and resilient in a busy environment
- Like learning new systems and working accurately at pace
- Are open to shift work (including evenings and weekends)
- Can commit to at least 60% office time per week (after a 15-week 100% office-based training period)
What you’ll do
This is a telephony-based role where you’ll:
- Support customers over the phone in a friendly, professional way
- Resolve queries and process a wide range of transactions accurately
- Use multiple systems while keeping quality and customer experience high
- Help customers understand HSBC products and digital banking options
- Build your skills through structured learning and feedback
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.
