What you’ll be doing

You’ll start in one of our branches, supporting customers side‑by‑side. You’ll then transition to working from home, handling inbound calls and helping customers through a range of channels including social media, web‑chat and remote video appointments.

While you’ll handle some everyday banking tasks, the heart of this role is helping people through important moments — offering reassurance, guidance and practical support. This could include supporting someone through a bereavement, resolving a fraud concern, helping a vulnerable customer, or building confidence with digital banking.

You’ll adapt to different customer needs, promote and support our digital services, and confidently help customers use online and mobile banking independently. You’ll also recognise opportunities to connect customers with the right products and services.

From day one we'll teach you all about our products, processes and systems and you'll learn how respond to queries quickly and become better every day.

What we’re looking for

• A minimum of 12 month’s customer service experience (There's no need for any previous financial services experience - we'll provide all the training required across a comprehensive training programme)
• This position is primarily a home working role, following completion of the branch period and necessary checks. As such, we're looking for people who have a suitable home working environment including a private area to take inbound calls and a stable/secure Wi-Fi connection to be able to serve customers when they need us most.
• Successful colleagues will be advocates of Lloyds Banking Group's products and services and will become subject matter experts for our banking app and products by demonstrating excellent knowledge of our products and services.
• Crucially, you're a people person - working with your team to provide an essential service to millions of customers.
• The commitment to deliver on your promises and going above and beyond for your customer.
