Santander is looking for a Customer Experience Advisor based out of Wimbledon Branch, working 21 hours per week on a rota'd basis Monday to Saturday, between 8am & 6pm. For our customers, you’ll be more than just the friendly face and voice of Santander. You’ll be a listener and problem solver. Whether you’re helping someone with a simple cash transaction, aiding them with technology in the banking hall, transacting with them over the phone or protecting your customers against fraud and scams, you’ll never know what the next challenge will be.

Life in a branch can be busy, varied and challenging, so we’re a close‑knit team. You’ll be totally flexible in your approach and comfortable in undertaking a broad range of activities.

• Assisting with day-to‑day transactions, queries and servicing
• Answering customer calls into our contact centre
• Building relationships and finding solutions
• Developing your knowledge of services and products to help our customers
• Identifying new ways to improve the customer experience

Our people are our greatest strength. Every individual contributes unique perspectives that make us stronger as a team and as an organisation. We’re enabling teams to go beyond by valuing who they are and empowering what they bring. The following requirements represent the knowledge, skills, and abilities essential for success in this role.

At Santander, we’re proud to be an inclusive organisation that provides equal opportunities for everyone - regardless of age, gender, disability, civil status, race, religion or sexual orientation. We’re committed to creating a recruitment experience that’s accessible, fair and welcoming for all candidates. We want our people to thrive - at work and at home - while delivering the best outcomes for our customers and supporting each other to grow.
