Our dream Specialist Customer Care colleague
Working in Customer Care is all about leaving every customer happier than you found them. We’d love individuals to join us who will treat our customers as if they were your own family members – with empathy and kindness. 

We’d love you to ask yourself these questions..
•    Are you patient and caring? 
•    Are you a good listener and passionate about helping others? 
•    Do you have a can-do attitude, and give everything a go? 
•    Are you digitally savvy and curious to learn more?
•    Are you willing to help your team by sharing what you learn along the way? 

If you answered ‘yes’ to the above, we’d love to hear from you. We believe these traits are the most important thing – and if you have these, we can teach you the rest. 
Although it’s not essential, it might also help you to hit the ground running in the role if you have some of these skills and experiences too: 
•    Experience of working in a customer-obsessed role
•    Excellent written and verbal communication skills
•    Experience assisting vulnerable customers 

What we offer
As much as we care about our customers here at Barclays, we’re equally passionate about our people. We want to make sure that everyone who works here loves their job, and is valued and respected.

Some of the ways we do this are listed below…
•    We know that you have a life outside of work so we offer flexible working – which you can discuss with the hiring manager. 
•    Our people spend some of their time at home and some of their time in the office. You’ll be told which set days you’ll be working from the office. These should be the same days each week, but it could change depending on the needs of the business – see more on this below
•    We love to hear different viewpoints from colleagues at all levels, and have regular and varied events on everything from mental and physical health to helping customers and colleagues through key life events
•    We have loads of great career opportunities, and are passionate about helping our people grow and progress

Hybrid Working
At Barclays, we offer a hybrid working experience that blends the positives of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, together with working from home. We have a structured approach where colleagues work at an onsite location on fixed, ‘anchor’, days of the week, for a minimum of two days a week or more, as set by the business. Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager. Please note that as we continue to embed our hybrid working environment, we remain in a test and learn phase, which means that working arrangements may be subject to change on reasonable notice to ensure we meet the needs of our business.

Where will you be working?
Our Wavertree Park site has recently been renovated into a modern contact centre, offering a warm and friendly environment. You will have access to our on-site staff canteen. Our Wavertree Park train station is within walking distance from the site and there are bus links into the Technology Park.
