We forge our own path at Nationwide.

At Nationwide, you are challenged to grow and rewarded for doing so. Valued. Recognised. Inspired to be your best. As a community we want our working lives to count. As a team, we celebrate what we achieve. As a standard-setter, we work for the good of customers, communities, and broader society.

We are purpose-driven. Uncompromisingly customer. Unstoppably Nationwide.

Banking - but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society

As a Business Development Adviser, you'll be delivering excellent customer service by ensuring the needs of our intermediaries are met - and we'll ensure you have full training to deliver such a legendary service.

No two days are the same and you will be the first point of contact for our intermediaries and Business Development Managers. They rely on us to provide accurate and relevant information to answer their queries and get it right first time. You'll build relationships with our intermediaries and help them place business with the Society, enabling us to consistently exceed expectations. You will develop and maintain product, criteria, process, and system knowledge. You'll also be committed to a continuous improvement culture and make suggestions to improve our processes on an on-going basis.

The minimum requirements for the role are:

• Background working in a telephony-based environment
• Experience of handling inbound queries from multiple customers
• A good understanding of mortgages and a working knowledge of products and criteria
• Excellent communication and listening skills with the ability to explain back to customers, making it easy, quick and simple
• The ability to problem solve and deal with several tasks and processes at any one time
• Great skills in applications such as Outlook and Excel - and the ability to work across multiple systems
• An eye for detail and a focus on accuracy

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.
