    About the Role

    As a Customer Service Advisor you'll:

  • Get to know our members and support them in finding the right products and services that can provide Real Help With Real Life - whether that's saving for a gap year trip, buying a first home, or anything in between.
  • Facilitate great conversations confidently through channel of choice, as you support our members in branch, over the phone and with the operation of their accounts online.
  • Forget sales targets, and enjoy the freedom to do what's right.
  • Here at YBS no two branches are the same, they each have their own characteristics and qualities that makes working there so special. Here is what the hiring manager had to say about Edinburgh Branch.

    "Our branch on Hanover Street is a busy City centre location, based near lots of transport links, where we help customers from Edinburgh, the wider Midlothian, The Borders, and beyond.

    You will be joining a welcoming team that has an excellent mix of experience, from 25 years in role, to just a few months. Everyone works together and has opportunity to bring their own strengths to the team and we are excited to bring in some new skills and experience.

    We have recently started a community partnership with FareShare and have exciting plans to use our paid volunteering leave to support the charity, or you could use this time to support a charity or community group you are passionate about.

    This role is available due to career progression, and opportunities are available for personal development and building your career whilst performing your day-to-day duties helping customers."
