Job description
Two exciting opportunities have arisen to join our Customer Care team as a Customer Care Advisor where you’ll support our most vulnerable customers with their everyday banking needs and make a real difference to the simply brilliant experience they receive.
As a Customer Care Advisor, you’ll specialise in supporting our customers who are impacted by changes to our services and need some extra support. You will use your knowledge and expertise to deliver clear, supportive guidance, helping customers understand their options and achieve the best possible outcomes. You’ll also play an important role in maintaining accurate, vulnerable customer records and supporting data quality.
Are you somebody who wants to make a difference every day? Do you love to listen to people, feel what the customer feels, have an ability to read between the lines and be able to help? Then this opportunity is for you!
At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.
For this job you'll be located at our nearest regional office or hub. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration and in some locations you’ll be expected to spend at least two days a week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, in the office. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.

What you’ll be doing
The primary purpose of the Customer Care Advisor role is to deliver a simply brilliant experience to vulnerable customers across every interaction. With a strong knowledge of banking products, general servicing processes, and project-related changes, you will confidently engage with customers, providing clear guidance and support to help them meet their banking needs.
A key responsibility is to engage with customers via outbound and inbound calls, ensuring customers fully understand the options available to them following any change, enabling them to make informed decisions and identify the most suitable path forward.
As one of the first human touchpoints following project-driven changes, using your questioning and listening skills to find out about the customer and summarise the situation, keeping to our defined processes as you go and you’ll ensure that our vulnerable customer records are up to date and accurate therefore creating a positive and reassuring experience for customers.
You will be accountable for delivering outstanding customer outcomes that set us apart from competitors, while working collaboratively with colleagues across the Customer Care team and wider business areas. Operating with a strong focus on policy and process adherence, you will ensure fair and appropriate outcomes, efficiently handling a range of customer enquiries at the first point of contact.
About you
For this role, you will have:
Experience within a customer service position
Empathy to allow you to feel what the customer feels, with a caring, positive attitude and a genuine desire to exceed our customers’ expectations
Excellent communication and listening skills with the ability to deliver a simply brilliant experience
The desire to speak with, and actively assist customers
A mindset to push for better, asking questions and negotiating to deliver the best solution
Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:
Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind
Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand
Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development
Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes
You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.

Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society
We forge our own path at Nationwide.

We don’t see customers as the engine of our own profit. We share our profits with them and put their needs first. Always there when they need us. Supporting them and their lives.
