ABOUT THE ROLE

This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your communications career within the Customer Communications Centre of Excellence in the Consumer Relationships Chief Operating Office. Our team is responsible for creating and delivering clear, engaging and empathetic customer communications for Rectifications - where we put things right when the Group has made a mistake. These communications are often sensitive and high impact, and play a vital role in maintaining customer trust. You’ll work on a wide range of communications across the Group, from single‑customer issues through to large‑scale remediation programmes affecting thousands of customers. Many of the customers we support may be in vulnerable circumstances, such as financial difficulty or bereavement, so empathy, clarity and care are critical.

• Taking complex issues, remediation decisions and customer treatments and converting them into clear, easy‑to‑understand communications, using accessible language in line with our Customer Communications Principles.
• Putting the customer first, challenging proposed treatments where needed to ensure good customer outcomes.
• Managing communications end‑to‑end, from brief through to delivery, across channels such as letters and email campaigns.
• Working collaboratively with Design & Delivery, data, risk and legal teams, as well as third‑party agencies.
• Ensuring all communications meet Group Standards, including FCA Consumer Duty, and follow the correct governance and approval processes.
• Managing multiple pieces of work at pace, prioritising effectively to deliver high‑quality communications on time.
