Are you passionate about helping others and providing exceptional customer service?
Would you like to join an organisation that puts its customers at the heart of what they do?
If so, then Skipton Building Society has the perfect opportunity for you! We are recruiting for a Customer Consultant within our Solihull Branch.
The role of Customer Consultant includes engaging in conversations to find out our customers’ needs, providing information about our full savings range, products, and services. By listening to and understanding our customers, you will help them review their circumstances and goals, while providing a straightforward and helpful service that showcases your enthusiasm and professionalism.
Our branches are the heart of our local communities. However, increasingly, our customers want the flexibility of doing transactions online and engaging via our contact centre. In branch, we support our customers face-to-face, virtually, and through outbound contact, reaching them at relevant times. Whether promoting a new product or resolving an issue, you will always prioritize our customers’ needs and deliver first-class service every time.
For our customers, you will be more than just the friendly face and voice of Skipton Building Society. You will be a listener, a problem solver, and over time, a knowledgeable resource to help them achieve their financial goals.
Who Are We?
Not just another building society. Not just another job.
We are the fourth biggest building society in the UK. What makes us a bit different is that we're a mutual organisation owned by our members, not shareholders.
We value who you are as a person. Our membership is diverse, and we want our colleagues to be as well. Our purpose is to help more people have a home, save for the future, and support long-term financial wellbeing.
Together, you can help us build a better Society!
