As a Barclays Customer Service Advisor in our Customer Care Centre, you will be taking inbound calls, helping and guiding each customer, giving a personal touch ensuring they feel valued and respected. You'll have empathy, understanding and a passion for delivering excellent customer service.

Barclays is one of the world's largest and most respected financial institutions, established in 1690, with a legacy of success, quality, and innovation. 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

What we're looking for:

• 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

Skills that will help you in the role:

• Ability to work seamlessly as part of a team but also to your own initiative

• Confidence in digital skills in order help support customers with use of digital technology
