Salary of £27,000 From time to time, our customers have trouble making payments on their credit card account. This might be due to health issues, job loss or even a deeper vulnerability. As a member of our Collections Team, you’ll be there to help and support our customers in the best possible way. Using empathy and strong communication skills, you’ll provide exceptional customer service and educate customers on next steps or signposting for further support. Every customer will have different circumstances so you’ll manage each individual situation to help find a suitable outcome for them. What you’ll do Remain customer focused and put them at the centre of every decision

You’ll get to grips with customers’ financial situations, figuring out their budget and helping them understand what payments are affordable for them.

Use your judgement when assessing the right outcome for the customer

Credit can be complicated. You’ll help our customers understand complex information by explaining it in really clear terms.

Support our customers through a range of challenging and sensitive situations taking into account any vulnerabilities

You’ll signpost customers to wider support that might be suitable for them, like debt charities or wellbeing organisations. You may also work with these third parties to help put plans in place.

What we’re looking for A natural problem solver focused on getting the right outcomes for our customers

Resilience is key! Whilst this job is incredibly rewarding, it can be difficult at times, particularly when dealing with sensitive situations our customers may be facing.

A team player that acts with integrity and treats our customers and associates with respect

We’d love it if you have first-hand experience within the Finance Industry - but don’t worry if not, as this isn’t a deal breaker!

A great communicator

A passion for giving the best advice to every customer you speak to through empathy and advocacy

We are committed to creating a level playing field and seek to create teams that are representative of our customers and the communities we serve.

We’d love to hear from you if you identify with a typically under-represented group in our industry and are particularly keen to hear from women, the LGBTQ+ community and ethnic minority candidates.

Please note, that the above shift times can vary from time to time. Our Collections department is open from 8am-8pm Monday to Friday and 8am-5pm on a Saturday. Once you have successfully completed your training, you will transition to predominantly working from home, however you will be required to come into the office for a day every 2 weeks. This will be for team building, collaboration and the opportunity to meet and spend time with your colleagues face to face. However, if you want to work from the office more, you can! What’s in it for you We offer high performers strong and diverse career progression, investing heavily in developing great people through our Capital One University training programmes (and appropriate external providers)
