• You're comfortable working with multiple systems, taking care of complex cases and guiding customers in the wide range of products we offer
• You're not interested in treading water, you're motivated to ensure you give your customers the best service possible, and you're keen to identify and work with new clients

• We have a full employee benefits package including a car, medical insurance and pension to name just a few
• You'll have your own client bank to build and maintain relationships throughout your career with us
• Your role is about growing your portfolio so if you're passionate about making sure new clients access the same support your existing clients get from us - then this role is for you

More than this, our ethos is to provide equal opportunities to all, and to ensure we represent the communities we serve.
