Join our community. 

As a Select Colleague, you will also support our customers within the Private Banking segment. Daily activities within both Select & Private are focused around delivering a service that’s second to none, ensuring that we enhance every interaction, by discussing opportunities to deepen and grow our relationship, through conversations that add value and deliver the right outcome for our customers. This means you can really focus on building the relationship with your customers and are not limiting your time or focus on one element of your role.

You’ll thrive on the variety this gives you and take satisfaction for operating in a multi-skilled environment. You’re the eyes and ears of our business after all.

In addition to the above, we’d love to support your ongoing career progression and development within Santander and can offer successful candidates the opportunity to complete R01 & R02 Financial Services qualifications, once settled in role.

  • Acting as the first point of contact for Select & Private customers over the phone
  • Assisting with day-to-day transactions, queries and servicing
  • Answering customer calls into our Select & Private contact centre
  • Building relationships and finding solutions
  • Developing your knowledge of services and products to help our customers
  • Identifying new ways to improve the customer experience.

What you’ll bring:

These are the essential requirements you need to be successful in this role: 

  • Proven ability to deliver outstanding customer service either from a face to face or a telephony background.
  • The ability to communicate effectively, coupled with a desire to truly support our Select & Private segment customers by identifying suitable opportunities, where relevant, within Wealth Management & Insurance that help their money work better for them and enhances their relationship with Santander

It would also be nice for you to have:

  • A real desire to go above-and-beyond for customers.
  • Effective team working skills with a flexible, can-do approach to work.
  • Openness to a broad range of activities even if outside of standard expectations
  • Ability to grow, adapt and change accommodating business needs and priorities.
  • You will require the right to work in the UK (please see details below).

What else you need to know:

This is a full-time role based in Glasgow and the working hours are Monday-Friday 12pm – 8pm.

We want our people to thrive at work and home, and also be able to deliver the best outcomes for our customers and to help each other develop. To support this, we offer site-based contracts with a hybrid working pattern and our expected level of attendance in an office is at least 12 days per month.

If you apply for this role in this location, it’s important you consider your travelling distance, time and cost from your home to the office.

We’re happy to discuss specific working patterns and arrangement within this hybrid approach during the recruitment process.
