As one of our Customer Support colleagues, you'll learn, grow and develop within an inclusive organisation with genuine values focussed on putting people first.

You could be in one of our branches helping our customers side by side, or working from home, doing your best to help the person at the other end of the line (we also connect via social media, web-chat and remote advice video calls).

You'll learn to make the most of your best talent - helping people. You'll show you care and understand what matters to them and if you don't know the answer then you'll have access to a supportive team that do.

From Day 1 we'll provide all the training and support you'll need. Join us and, as well as making a difference to customers, you'll enjoy a fulfilling career where you're free to be yourself. Great colleagues, transforming workspaces, potential hybrid working and a wide variety of career opportunities - you'll find them all here.

• The commitment to deliver on your promises and going above and beyond for your customer.
• A genuine teammate - collaborating closely with colleagues to ensure your customers' needs are met.
• If located in in one of our hybrid locations, you will need to meet our Homeworking criteria, for example, a quiet, private room at home, stable internet connection.

To be successful in this role, you will need to be a LBG advocate, an expert in using our mobile app and demonstrate excellent knowledge of our products and services. This will mean you are able to offer fantastic support to our customers. Should you be offered the role, we'd really encourage you to use the app so that you become familiar with it and we'd hope that you use our products as well, if you don't already!."
