We don’t require previous experience. We will provide you with a comprehensive on-site fully paid training program (up to 12 weeks) to ensure that you feel confident and set you up for long-term success in your role. During this time, you will have a chance to meet and engage with your colleagues which will make your journey even more satisfying.

Whether you’re helping someone about to move into their new dream home, or congratulating them for repaying their mortgage in full, you’ll never know what the next caller might need, and no two customers are the same.

You'll use your natural warmth, energy and personality to help as many customers as you can each day. We'll help you to develop the skills needed to build strong customer relationships, take ownership, and deliver that great customer experience.

What else you need to know

We want our people to thrive at work and home, and we recognise that many people benefit from flexible arrangements. To enable us to deliver the best outcomes for our customers and to help each other develop we understand the importance of having the right balance of spending time together in an office while maintaining flexibility.

By working this way, we can continue to create moments that matter for everyone. To support this, we offer site-based contracts with a hybrid working pattern and we’re happy to discuss specific requirements throughout the recruitment process.

This role is based in Glasgow and our current expectation is to attend our initial on-site training for the first 12 weeks. After that time you’ll typically work in the office for 2 days per week (benefitting from interaction with your team) and from home 3 days per week.

As mentioned, once you are successfully competent in role, if you are interested in a flexible or reduced working pattern we would still love to hear from you and discuss.
