Customer Service Representative

 

Location: Liverpool (office-based/ work from home - flexibility needed)

Duration: 12 months  

Hours/week: 35/week

 

No previous banking knowledge is needed. We are looking for experience in a call centre or in a customer-focused role, but this can be from retail, hospitality, travel or any customer related industry.

To get you off to a great start, you’ll begin the contract with a four-week training programme, where you’ll learn about Barclays, banking and the role. This initial training runs from Monday to Friday, from 9-5pm.

After this, you’ll join the team in our customer call centre, which operates from Monday to Sunday, between 7am and 11pm. You’ll work 35 hours a week during these hours. Initially, this will be a hybrid role, where you’ll work at home and onsite in the call centre. As COVID restrictions are lifted you will move to the office full-time.

 

At Barclays, our goal is to deliver an extraordinary customer experience every time. And our Customer Care team are the people that make it happen. Working at our customer contact centre in Liverpool, you’ll connect with customers, resolving their problems and making every customers’ experience a positive one.

We’ll build your expertise in our products, policies and processes with an initial four-week training programme. Then we’ll provide ongoing support, to help you refine your knowledge and develop your skills. You don’t need call centre experience or financial services expertise, just strong communication skills and a customer-focused approach.
