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 Ripon 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 really listening to and getting to know our customers, you will help them review their circumstances and goals while providing a straightforward, helpful service that showcases your enthusiasm and professionalism.
Our branches are at the heart of our local communities. Increasingly, our customers want the flexibility of doing transactions online and engaging via our contact centre. In branch, we support customers face-to-face, virtually, and through outbound contact, reaching them at relevant times. Whether promoting a new product or resolving a problem, you will always place our customers’ needs at the core of your work and deliver a 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 fountain of knowledge to help them achieve their financial goals.
