Are you passionate about helping others and providing exceptional customer service?
If so, then we have the perfect opportunity for you! We are recruiting for a Customer Service Lead across our multisite branches in Harrogate and Wetherby.
As a Customer Service Lead you will divide your time between customers and the team. You will be developing relationships with customers, having great conversations, and highlighting the products and services that Skipton Building Society provides through a variety of channels including face to face, over the phone, and by video.
As a subject matter expert, you will ensure that the team understand the branch’s contribution plan and understand key messages and actions. You will coach and develop the team through effective observations and one\-to\-ones, working as one team to achieve together.
Our branches are the heart of our local communities, however increasingly our customers want the flexibility of doing transactions online and engaging with us via our contact centre. In branch we can support our customers face to face, virtually and by outbound contact so we are reaching our customers at relevant times. So, whether you are promoting a new product or resolving a problem, you will always place our customers’ needs at the heart of everything you do and provide 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 in time a fountain of knowledge to help them achieve their financial goals.
Together, you can help us build a better Society!
