Making a meaningful difference for our customers, every day

As a Customer Representative, you will make a real impact from day one.

You’ll be a key part of the branch team. Supporting customers in person, over the phone and online. You’ll help with everyday transactions, answer queries, and guide customers towards banking services and digital tools that make managing their money easier. No two days are the same, and you’ll be trusted to adapt your approach to meet the needs of different customers and situations.

While other banks continue to close branches, we’ve made our Branch Promise. It means all 696 of our branches will remain open until at least 2030, giving customers a choice in how they bank. We’re also the last branch on the high street in 148 towns, which means our Customer Representatives play a local role for customers and communities.

We exist to do what’s right for customers, taking the time to listen, offering trusted guidance, and supporting people through everyday banking moments and lifechanging decisions.

When you’re inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful difference, and truly care about customers, you’re one of us. An advocate for positive change.

Where you’ll be working

We’re looking for a Customer Representative for our branch in Gravesend, Kent.

This role is a permanent position working full-time, 35 hours per week, Monday to Saturday.

You’ll need to be within a 45-minute commute of the branch you’re applying to work in.

Our training is designed to set you up for success in your role. The first three weeks are an important part of your journey with us, so we ask that no holiday is taken during this time. Your start date will be confirmed once an offer is made.

We may close this advert early if we receive a high volume of suitable applications.

More rewarding. From 1 July 2026, the minimum salary for this role will be £26,500.

What you’ll be doing

You’ll deliver great customer experiences across a range of banking moments. Whether customers choose to visit us in branch, speak to us over the phone or use our digital services, you’ll be there to support them with care, clarity and confidence.

As a Customer Representative, you will:

• Welcome customers into the branch and take the time to understand their needs and offer trusted, friendly help with their banking

• Handle a range of transactions and queries accurately, while keeping customer needs, security and fairness front of mind

• Guide customers through banking products and services that are right for them, helping them to manage their money with confidence

• Work closely with colleagues within a busy branch environment, supporting one another to deliver excellent customer service even at peak times

• Take responsibility for doing things the right way. Following processes, spotting potential issues, and escalating concerns where needed to protect customers and Nationwide

Above all, you’ll play a vital role in keeping face to face banking meaningful and accessible on the high street, helping customers to feel supported, respected and confident in their banking.

About you

We’re proud of our branches and the service they provide to our customers. The experts at Moneyfacts agree and have named Nationwide as the 2026 Branch Network of the Year.

Our Customer Representatives deliver simply brilliant experiences for our customers. You don’t need experience in banking, but experience or a passion to work in a customer service environment will help you thrive.

You should be able to show how:

• You take pride in helping customers feel confident, supported and listened to, even when things are busy or complex

• You bring patience, empathy and strong people skills, to fully understand our customers’ banking needs

• You’re comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, where priorities can shift and no two interactions are the same

• You stay calm under pressure, adapt quickly, and approach change with a positive mindset

• You’re confident using technology and are digitally savvy

• You enjoy working as part of a high-performing team and understand that great customer experiences are built through a strong team

• You communicate clearly and naturally with people and can confidently guide customers face to face, on the phone and through our digital services

• You take ownership to get things done, and act with care and integrity to protect our customers and their money

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.
