WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

Join our community.

At Santander we're driven by our purpose - to help people and businesses prosper. We help our customers at the moments that matter most and champion businesses to help them to grow sustainably. That's why we're building a community to be a digital bank with a human touch and deliver an outstanding customer experience living our values of Simple, Personal and Fair.

For our callers, who could be Customers, Solicitors, Brokers, or internal colleagues, you'll be more than just the friendly voice of Santander. You'll be a listener and problem solver at critical and key moments in a customer's life. It's what makes this role so rewarding. 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.

The difference you will make.

• Servicing inbound calls from customers, brokers, solicitors and 3rd parties, either through personal ownership or by liaising with other areas (such as internal Departments; escalating issues or complaints), according to the process

• Using various systems to ensure all queries raised are fully answered, ensuring the account is accurately updated to reflect conversations

• Performing high value transactions on customers' accounts,

• Achieving Key Performance Indicators such as Quality Assurance targets and AHT targets

What you will bring.

• Excellent communication and customer service skills (such as articulate, clear, good listening/questioning skills, showing empathy where appropriate)

It would also be nice for you to have.

• Resilience and problem-solving skills

• A structured approach to work and well organised

• Excellent attention to detail to ensure quality standards are maintained

What our people say.

"What's not in doubt is that you'll have plenty of support. Life in Mortgage and Loans can be busy and challenging, so we know how important it is we all help and support each other in our close-knit teams. We take each other seriously too. If you have an idea about how we can improve things, we want to hear it. You're the eyes and ears of our business after all."

What else you need to know.

This role is based remotely but will require you to be within a reasonable travelling distance from our Teesside office as our contract requires flexibility to attend the site for meetings/training.

We're recruiting full-time roles where shifts will be scheduled within our opening hours which are 08:00-19:00 Monday-Friday & 09:00-14:00 Saturday (lieu days will be given when working Saturdays).

At Santander, we each take personal responsibility for managing risk by embracing the I AM Risk framework - to Identify, Assess, Manage and Report risks, and to continuously build a deeper understanding of the risks we face. It is an important part of our culture at Santander and we will provide you with knowledge to help you manage risks in your role.
