About the Role
As a Customer Service Advisor you’ll:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 Sheffield Branch.
“"We have an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to become part of the Sheffield team, working in a city centre branch where no two days are the same! We are a team of 8 who enjoy working together and delivering a professional personal service to our members. Sheffield is a diverse busy city centre with our branch in the heart of it. We have great relationships with organisations in the local community which lead to a wide range of volunteering opportunities."

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