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 Northallerton Branch.

We have an exciting opportunity to join our friendly team here in Northallerton. We are one big family and our branch prides itself on creating a welcoming atmosphere for our customers, offering an outstanding level of support and service. As well as helping our customers in branch and over the phone, there are opportunities to get out and about in the community delivering financial education sessions along with a range of other workshops in schools and community groups.

Northallerton branch is in the heart of the High Street, serving our busy market town and surrounding villages. We have connections with the local BID and are proud to still offer a face-to-face service on the High Street.

  • Having the ambition to become a leading expert on our products and services.

Our commitments to Community and Charity

Ever since we started back in 1864, we’ve had a clear purpose – to do some good in our communities through helping people keep their savings safe. And helping everyone have a place to call home. Today, that purpose is still a huge part of who we are. And every one of our colleagues helps that happen.

We’re committed to volunteering our time, resources, skills and knowledge – more than 50% of colleagues contribute to thousands of volunteer hours every year. And our Charitable Foundation has now donated over £9 million to charities and good causes across the country.
