IT STARTS HERE

Santander (www.santander.com) is evolving from a global, high-impact brand into a technology-driven organisation, and our people are at the heart of this journey. Together, we are driving a customer‑centric transformation that values bold thinking, innovation, and the courage to challenge what’s possible.

This is more than a strategic shift. It’s a chance for driven professionals to grow, learn, and make a real difference.

Our mission is to help more people and businesses prosper. We embrace a strong risk culture and expect all professionals to take a proactive and responsible approach toward risk management.

Retail & Commercial Banking is a global business that integrates all our retail and commercial banking activities to better serve our customers, improvise efficiency, and drive value creation.

THE DIFFERENCE YOU MAKE

Santander is looking for a Customer Experience Advisor based out of Newark Branch, working 35 hours per week, on a rota’d basis Monday to Saturday, between 8 am & 6 pm.

For our customers, you’ll be more than just the friendly face and voice of Santander. You’ll be a listener and problem solver.

What’s not in doubt is that you’ll have plenty of support. Life in a branch can be busy, varied and challenging, so we’re a close‑knit team.

You’ll be totally flexible in your approach and comfortable undertaking a broad range of activities. This means not limiting your time and focus to one particular element of your role. You’ll thrive on the variety this gives you and take satisfaction from operating in a multi‑skilled environment. You’re the eyes and ears of our business after all.

We’re shaping the way we work through innovation, cutting‑edge technology, collaboration and the freedom to explore new ideas.
