25 days holiday, plus bank holidays

A day off on your birthday to help you celebrate!

*
24-hour Employee Assistance Programme

What type of person are we looking for?*
It’s more important to us that you have great customer service skills than knowledge of savings or experience of working in financial services because we’ll provide full training and support your development as your career with us progresses.
So if you enjoy helping people, have good attention to detail, and want a rewarding career, make sure you read the job description above / below and get your application in to us before date.
