Working as a Customer Services Representative in our brand-new purpose-built offices, you’ll answer calls from our customers, playing a key role within our Specialist Contact Centre in Leeds City Centre. You’ll have the right conversations to fully understand customer needs, taking personal ownership of each interaction, understanding their unique situations, and responding with efficiency, professionalism, and knowledge to maintain our reputation and build confidence in our products and services.
Our products include Trading Accounts, Stocks & Shares ISAs, and SIPP accounts, which help our customers take control of their own pension.
We provide the tools and trading platform to enable our clients to make confident, informed investment decisions. We are proud of our excellent customer service, and our fair, simple, and transparent products are what set us head and shoulders above the rest.
You’ll be working on highly complex customer queries relating to our products, which require high standards and attention to detail to ensure our customers are getting the experience that they expect and deserve. The position requires managing multiple tasks simultaneously, alongside the typical pressures associated with a busy contact centre environment. Therefore, resilience and the ability to remain composed under pressure are essential qualities for success in this role
