Call Centre

The main difference in the roles within the call centre is simple - it's all done over the phone. Obviously a great telephone manner is essential here but the same enthusiasm for excellent customer service and hitting sales targets applies. The call centre consists of three core teams: Customer Relations, Business Retention and Derbyshire Direct.

All call centre roles include a flexible contract with working hours between 8am and 8pm Monday to Friday and 8am to 3pm on Saturday. You'll work a 35-hour week with hours defined on a rota one month in advance.

Customer Relations Team

This is an excellent place to start a career in financial services. With in-depth training and support, you will quickly be answering calls from customers on a range of subjects so no day is ever the same. As well as customers, you will also help colleagues in the branches with customer service queries through our Branch Hotline.

A friendly, customer service attitude is essential to succeed in this busy and varied role, together with great listening and problem solving skills. You'll also spot opportunities for further sales and refer customers to one of our skilled sales teams. You will need to be able to learn product and process information as well as learning how to use our leading edge technology and IT systems. Full training is given on all aspects of the role.

Business Retention Team

The Business Retention team maintain regular contact with existing customers by telephone, making sure they are aware of the many ways in which The Derbyshire can help them. This proactive sales role requires experience in financial services together with a confident telephone style.

DEDI

Derbyshire Direct (DEDI) offers customers a direct telephone service for new mortgages. As a mortgage interviewer, you'll take customer details over the phone, ensuring they receive a quality service from the first phone call through to completion. Experience in mortgage sales is essential to succeed in this fast paced role.
