What you'll be doing

Working on the branch floor alongside your team, you'll make sure they are fully trained and performing at their best.

You'll have the confidence to manage a high level of customer expectations and have an in-depth knowledge of all our products and services. You'll also be responsible for creating and implementing your branches business plan.

Our branches are always busy, so you'll have to be organised and able to work quickly while still giving the best service. You'll have the support of your management team to help with training and guidance.

You'll also need to be able to use our computer systems and processes. But don't worry, we'll train you to do that.

About you

As a minimum requirement you'll be able to take control of your branch and lead your people, whilst meeting FCA standards and delivering top notch customer service and creating positive outcomes.

You will have experience of managing people and working in a busy retail environment. Leading by example; with a commercial understanding and knowledge of financial regulations and processes. You will be able to monitor and explore branch activity to spot opportunities and make your customers better off.

By being resilient, versatile and flexible you will be able to prioritise effectively and deal with ever-changing requests.

It would be nice if you also had previous experience as a branch manager in a retail environment.

We are the front line in protecting our members, building our society.

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.
