Customer Service Advisor (12 Month Contract)

If you’re great with people, a Customer Service career in our Branch Network could be a great choice for you. As one of the biggest and most important teams at YBS, our Branch Network makes a huge impact on the success of our business. We always look for ways to give the best customer experience, make things more efficient and try new things. And because we’re right at the beginning of an exciting digital journey, our future has never looked more exciting - and neither has yours.

About the Role

As a Customer Service Advisor you’ll:

• Get to know our members and support them in finding the right products and services that can provide Real Help With Real Life - whether that’s saving for a gap year trip, buying a first home, or anything in between.
• Facilitate great conversations confidently through channel of choice, as you support our members in branch, over the phone and with the operation of their accounts online.
• Forget sales targets, and enjoy the freedom to do what’s right.

Here at YBS no two branches are the same, they each have their own characteristics and qualities that makes working there so special. Here is what the hiring manager had to say about Preston Branch.

“We are, at present, a small, diverse team of 6 who are all friendly, engaged and passionate about supporting your onboarding journey to service our customers with all of their savings and mortgage needs and requirements, including counter transactions, savings meetings and appropriate referrals. As well as day to day tasks and activities, we strongly support individual personal growth and development in knowledge, skill and behavioural areas, and also support colleague succession and progression for those who aspire to.

There are also opportunities to network with others in the wider area, region, network, and Head Office so you will be able to engage with others outside of your branch team, including those who are also onboarding at the same time. Occasionally you may be required to provide cover to local branches, mainly Blackpool, so this is another opportunity to gain exposure to a variation of our ways of working.

We are located in the main high street right next to the train station. There are various pay and display car parks nearby but also free parking away from the branch within a 10-minute walk."
