Business Savings Consultants in Northampton

As a Business Savings Consultant, you’ll play an instrumental part in completing all aspects of customer service and administration, from application stage through to completion and account administration. Managing an active portfolio of Business Savings applications, establishing relationships with professionals and taking inbound calls from prospective and existing customers will be but a few of your tasks.

As we pride ourselves on providing a world class customer experience you will have proven skills in customer service, a high level of attention to detail, a professional can-do attitude, and the desire to further your skills in these areas. At Nationwide, we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK-wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected. For this job you'll spend at least two days per week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, based at our Northampton office. If you are aligned to our Glasgow hub (as this is your nearest location), there will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events. This is anticipated to be weekly in Glasgow.

If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here.

Virgin Money is now part of Nationwide. Nationwide acquired Virgin Money in October 2024.

You’ll be employed by Nationwide from day one, delivering real impact and benefitting from a highly competitive range of benefits. We’re a workplace where you’re rewarded, recognised and celebrated. Nationwide is committed to the redeployment of our employees impacted by change, as such applications for redeployment candidates will be prioritised in this recruitment process.

Responsibilities

You’ll be managing your own individual workload, predominantly focusing on reviewing and updating the information that we hold for our customers, ensuring appropriate risk ratings are in place, aligned to our regulatory responsibilities. This will involve researching and understanding our customers through public sources, completing adverse media searches, and contacting the customer via email and telephone calls when needed to ensure that we have a full and accurate reflection of the business. You may also be asked to support other areas of Business Savings, for which you will be provided with full and comprehensive training beforehand.

About you

As a minimum for this role, you will have/be:

• Proven skills in customer service and administration
• A high level of organisational skills, and be capable of dealing with a high volume of activity
• Passionate about innovating and evidence of trying out new creative solutions and ideas
• Experience of working across a wide variety of tasks
• Able to identify and respond to customer enquiries with a high level of accuracy, in an excellent customer-focused manner and in accordance with regulatory requirements, standard operating procedures, and within agreed service standards
• Experience of engaging with stakeholders at different levels

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

• Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind
• Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand
• Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development
• Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.
