Job details
Job description, work day and responsibilities
Love helping others? Got people skills coming out of your ears? At your best in a busy, buzzing environment? You might fancy working at first direct. Here’s why.
Firstly, you’ll be joining an award-winning bunch of “people people,” dedicated to giving customers the best possible banking experience. If you’re a customer service expert, perfect. If not, no worries, if you can demonstrate the skills and passion for customer service, you’re dedicated to learning and thrive on a challenge then our Gold-standard training programme and support will get you where you need to be.
Secondly, our starting salary is £24,000. On top comes a generous helping of perks – such as 33 days holiday per year (including national bank holidays), free parking and EV charging, a fully-fitted gym (complete with personal trainers), an onsite Starbucks and free BUPA healthcare.
And that’s not all. Because we believe your job should fit around your life – and not the other way round – we also offer a choice of hybrid working patterns.

What’s the job?
In a nutshell, you’ll be helping our customers with whatever they need – giving them the confident, friendly, human support first direct is so well known for.
You’ll need to be able to really listen to the customer’s requirements with empathy, understand their needs and provide them with best support by clearly communicating the right information and solutions to help them, ensuring they leave the call knowing they have received a top-notch service. You’ll also be comfortable following set processes and confident working with technology.
Full time roles are 35 hours per week, and because we’re here for our customers 24/7, working patterns can vary. You might be working over 4 or 5 days, with some evening and/or weekend hours, but you’ll always get at least 2 days off together for some down time.
Your progression’s as important to us as we hope it is to you. You’ll meet other new starters and be fully equipped to join your team through a six week fully onsite training programme and, it doesn’t stop there, we have multiple support functions to help you continue to grow in your career.
