- Work with customers and representatives to create tailored, sustainable repayment plans
- Provide empathetic support to customers experiencing financial hardship or insolvency

- Review and action daily reports, prioritising hardship and high-risk accounts
- Proactively identify risks and solve problems before they escalate
- Deliver clear, professional, and compassionate communication
- Ensure all cases are managed in line with compliance, policy, and regulatory requirements
- Contribute to process improvements and share insights from customer interactions
- Participate in ongoing training, 1:1s, and continuous development
You'll thrive here if you have:
- A minimum of 2 years' experience in hardship, collections, or a similar role
- Take ownership and show strong judgment in complex customer situations
- Lead with empathy while balancing fair and responsible outcomes
- Communicate clearly, confidently, and with care
- Are resilient and composed when handling emotionally challenging conversations
