We’re looking for an amazing individual to join our Customer Care Team, where
you’ll support our customers with their everyday banking needs and make a real
difference to our vulnerable customers and the experience they receive.
As a Customer Care Advisor, you’ll specialise in supporting our customers who
are impacted by digital change and need some extra TLC. If you are
self-motivated, enthusiastic, and ready to make a real difference within a
supportive, friendly team then we are looking for you!
Are you somebody who wants to make a difference every day? You love to listen to
people, feel what the customer feels, have an ability to read between the lines
and love to be able to help? Sound familiar? Then this opportunity is for you!
We are happy to consider flexible working approaches to help you perform at your
best.
At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding
relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues
together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to
home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and
to feel connected.
For this job you'll be located at our nearest regional office or hub. There will
be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration and in some
locations, you’ll be expected to spend at least two days a week, or if part time
you'll spend 40% of your working time, in the office. If your application is
successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
