Customer Experience Advisor | S1 | Retail Banking | Harlesden & Cricklewood Twin Location

IT STARTS HERE
Santander (www.santander.com) is evolving from a global, high-impact brand into a technology-driven organisation, and our people are at the heart of this journey. Together, we are driving a customer-centric transformation that values bold thinking, innovation, and the courage to challenge what’s possible.
This is more than a strategic shift. It’s a chance for driven professionals to grow, learn, and make a real difference.
Our mission is to contribute to help more people and businesses prosper. We embrace a strong risk culture and all our professionals at all levels are expected to take a proactive and responsible approach toward risk management.
Retail & Commercial Banking is a global business integrating all our retail and commercial banking activities to better serve our customers, improve efficiency and drive value creation.
THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE
Santander is looking for a Customer Experience Advisor based out of both Harlesden & Cricklewood branches, working 21 hours per week, on a rota’d basis Monday to Saturday, between 8am & 6pm.
**This is a Twinned site, which means that one site is open Monday, Wednesday & Friday and the other Tuesday, Thursday & Saturday.
You will be required to travel to both locations.**
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.
What’s not in doubt is that you’ll have plenty of support. Life in a branch can be busy, varied and challenging, so we’re a close-knit team.

Answering customer calls into our contact centre
