As a Barclays Customer Service Advisor, you will get an exciting opportunity to be on the frontline to serve customers and address the more complex needs with a focus on achieving the best outcomes for our customers and clients. For this role, you will be recognizing the needs of our customers as you take ownership of your own personal development, while we notice and support your ambitions. Get this chance to grow your skills and develop into leadership roles being a Barclays Customer Service Advisor.
Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, with 329 years of success, quality and innovation behind us. We offer careers that provide endless opportunity – helping millions of individuals and businesses thrive and creating financial and digital solutions that the world now takes for granted.
At Barclays, we offer a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home. We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business area (or nearest equivalent if working part-time hours). Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.

- Investigating emotive and complex customer and client queries, concerns, and complaints related to an extensive range of products
- Engaging in a fast-paced environment, reviewing relevant information, and making decisions and actions
- Taking inbound calls at times and listening to customers’ specific circumstances while tailoring the relevant solutions to their needs
- Excellent communication and empathy skills, with the ability to use a range of communication styles to provide a personal approach
- A genuine passion for helping others with a customer centric mindset
- The ability to educate our customers on a range of products and services
- Proficiency in fraud investigation, processes and systems reviewing relevant information and making decisions and actions
- Ability to work seamlessly as part of a team but also to their own initiative

Where will you be working?

We aim to have someone on hand to help our customers with their banking needs from the moment they walk in, creating an exquisite customer experience, face to face, while using technology to create the quickest, most seamless experience for them.
