Overview
We are a leading digital bank on a mission to disrupt the banking industry. We\'ve built an app with smart money management tools to help our customers live a healthier financial life.
Our customer service department is at the core of our success. As the point of contact for our customers, being able to respond to their needs in an efficient and timely manner is what helps set us apart from the competition.
As our customer numbers continue to grow, so does our need to hire fantastic people to serve them. Our Customer Service Team Members are our greatest asset - representing Starling to the people that rely on us to help manage their financial lives. We don\'t silo you into one particular area, so the queries you deal with will be wide ranging, from the simple to the complex. You will deal with inbound calls, online chat, social media and emails, offering a varied yet challenging role!
Shifts and working patterns
Evenings - 25 hours a week (5 x 5 hours shifts), between 5pm - 12am Monday to Sunday. Our contact centres are open 365 days per year. We\'re passionate about improving work life balance and therefore commit to providing your rota at least 6 weeks in advance and offer hybrid working - you\'ll spend around 60% of the time in the office with your team and 40% working from home. Your application form will capture your shift preferences.
