Customer Service Consultant

What you'll do

The role of a Customer Service Consultant is to provide an outstanding service we can all be proud of, educating our customers to enable them to use our digital platforms, giving them a choice of how they wish to bank with us. Our Customer Service Consultants actively raise fraud awareness, protect our customers, identify and support those who are in potentially vulnerable situations or have more complex needs, ensuring financial inclusion for all.

We are looking for people who are passionate about delivering an outstanding customer experience, who are ambitious and have a helpful personality. Previous Customer Service experience is helpful but is not essential. We are really interested in someone who can hold a conversation and has a genuine passion for going above and beyond for customers - everything else we can teach you!

Within this role you will:

• Play a pivotal role within our Branch Customer Service Team by being the first point of contact for our customers, taking ownership of their individual needs and delivering an exceptional customer experience.
• Play an integral part in customer education around HSBC digital services and fraud awareness.
• Identify customers who are in vulnerable situations and determine the best way we can support them.
• Help our customers with more complex banking needs to ensure they feel supported in their choices.

What do I need to be successful?

• Demonstrate excellent communication skills enabling you to engage in effective conversations, build strong connections and show empathy to our customers.
• Take ownership of customer enquiries through to resolution, priding yourself on delivering a customer experience that exceeds expectations, and providing a personalised, friendly & efficient service.
• Be resilient in a continuously changing environment.
