At Nationwide, a Customer Representative role is about best supporting our customers with our great services across all our channels. From transactions on the till, handling inbound calls from customers, to supporting product applications through digital sales, you will provide first-class service in person, via phone, and online - but don’t worry, you will be trained up on this.
It is an important role within the branch, and we are the gateway to protecting and looking after our customers while working closely as a team.
We need a Customer Representative for our branch in Chesterfield.
This role is a permanent position working full time, 35 hours per week, Monday to Saturday.
If this role is advertised as part-time, the salary will be pro-rata.
You’ll need to be within a 45-minute commute of the branch you’re applying to work in. Whilst major banks continue to close branches, we’re keeping ours open. Nationwide’s commitment to the High Street means we now have the UK’s largest network, with over 600 branches. If the location you’re considering is outside the 45 minutes, please check our other vacancies that are closer to you.
Your training will be based virtually in branch.
Our training pathway is designed to ensure you are successful in your role, and the first 3 weeks are really important to your career journey with us. With this in mind, within those first few weeks, we ask that no holiday is taken.
If we receive a high volume of relevant applications, we may close the advert earlier than the advertised date, so please apply as soon as you can.
What you’ll be doing
Every branch is different, and we are all in this together working to have the best version of our branches!

You need to be comfortable using digital tools and applications.

What makes us different
Nationwide is the world’s largest building society. With over 15 million customers, we have a relationship with almost a quarter of the UK’s population. We’ve got the scale to compete with the big banks, but we’re not a bank.
As a building society, we’re owned by our members – that’s our customers who have their current account, mortgage, or savings with us. It means we can do things differently to deliver our Purpose – Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society.
When you work at Nationwide, you can experience that difference for yourself. You’ll be part of a high-performing, purpose-driven organisation that offers rewarding career experiences and a highly competitive range of benefits to match. You’ll also be joining us at an important time as we seek to reach more and more people in the UK. We want everyone in the UK to know that they don’t have to bank with a bank; they can choose a modern mutual instead.
