We're looking for professionalism and the ability and passion to influence advocacy, confidence and trust from our customers.

Retirements

Retirement has changed - it doesn't necessarily mean stopping work, and can often bring the prospect to do new things. Now that our clients have greater freedom and flexibility with their retirement savings, they need a pension product that lets them make the most of this and we, in Retirements, facilitate this. Retirements focuses on building engagement with our customers by helping them to understand their product, their options and any implication of choices, so that they can feel confident and in a position to make an informed choice, in whichever part of the pension lifecycle they are in. We take our Customers through the journey of saving for their future, to a key point where they start to draw down on their pension.

Protection

Within Protection, Health Claims and Bereaved, our purpose is to make it easy for our customers to identify their Protection needs and plan for the potential unexpected events in life. We do this by providing easily accessible, market leading products and services to our customers that evolve over time with them.

Working as part of this team, you'll be responsible for helping our customers by answering a range of telephone enquiries.

Company

We’re creating an organisation that attracts, retains and develops the best talent in the industry, and one that openly embraces diversity too. But more than that – we want to be a great place to work. We invest in our people, offering the best training and coaching, and by encouraging them to contribute to our leading corporate and social responsibility practices. We offer flexible working hours and days, under our Work Options scheme. This means that you can have a challenging and rewarding career, and still have an ideal work/life balance.

Flexible working is at the heart of our strategy. We’re re-imagining where, when, and how our people work, with new approaches designed to meet the ever-changing needs of customers and colleagues. These include increasing our use of remote-working tools and technology, as well as placing less reliance on a 9-to-5 mindset. For many of our office-based colleagues, we work in hybrid ways which involves spending at least two days per week or 40% of their time at one of our office sites.
