Nationwide are Recruiting...

Nationwide are recruiting for permanent Customer Service Consultants at their Call Centre at Windmill Hill Industrial Estate. The closing date is 21/6/13 for a start date of 5/8/13. See link below:

https://www.nationwide-jobs.co.uk/view-jobs/details.aspx?nPostingTargetID=11734#.UZ4DgKzFwfk

They also have temp Customer Service Consultants positions which are being recruited through Field Staff.

Please find details below:

·         They don't advertise P/T hours but will look at each case on an individual basis as long as they can commit to the full time training. Will need to apply as normal but to bring it to their attention at the interview.

·         The training will be for 12 weeks from Mon to Fri 9am to 5pm. It is modular and after each session they will consolidate the training on real customer calls.

·         There is no selling involved which means that the bonus system has changed. It is now a small bonus incentive around customer service . You will be scored each quarter taking into account results from monthly 121's with their adviser.

·         You need to be computer literate and have strong customer service skills.

·         You will be taking 60 to 80 calls a day so it is a very busy environment.

·         You are expected to stay in the role for 18 months to 2 years before considering applying to transfer to other parts of the business.

The application process is as follows:

·         Apply on line through the link above and submit their CV.

·         You will be sent an on line assessment which consists of a psychometric test and a practical exercise which lasts 30 to 40 mins. It is a simulated call from a customer and they will need to ask relevant questions in order to deal with the customer query.

·         If successful you will have a telephone interview.

·         If successful you then have to give a talk for up to 5 mins about a Nationwide product of the candidates choice, have a competency based interview ( following processes, emotional resilience and problem solving) and a product matching exercise (you will have 20 mins to match 3 customers to 7 fictitious products).

If they are not successful you cannot reapply for 12 months.

You then need to pass the credit checks, which are not straight forward. Basically if you have CCJ's or bankruptcy don't apply anything else will be looked at individually. A couple of late payments or if you have been refused credit etc., won't necessarily go against them.

Von Grey along with Marie Ponting designed this years amazing Reggae Garden flyer... Truly awesome artists....

Also check out The Youth Life Project's review of last years event-

8/9/2012

What an amazing event The Reggae Garden Festival turned out to be. The music was amazing, the venue was perfect, the sun was shining, and the atmosphere was friendly with a contagious vibe that everyone caught on to. 'One Love' was definitely the theme throughout the day as people danced, Jamaican  flags were waved, and almost all sung along and got involved with the performances. It really was one big happy family.

Another factor that made an excellent event was that it was very family orientated with a bouncy castle for the children as well as face-painting, nail art, and hair braiding provided by The Youth Life Project. It was a joy to see so many smiling faces and happy children having fun and getting involved.

The success of last years event and the fact that this years topped it by miles, has left everyone excited for what's in store next year!

It was a massive turn out and everyone had amazing time. Events like these that show of Swindon's diversity are second to none and are much needed as well as enjoyed.

Congratulations to AJ and Bully who organised this event, you've done Swindon proud!

Here are a few pics of the day for those unfortunate souls that didn't attend..

Mission Statement

The purpose of The Youth Life project is to provide support and guidance to young people, empowering them to reach their full potential by building a better and brighter future, not only for themselves but for the next generation of youth, creating future community leaders and role models. We call this a 'spiral of inspiration'.

We equip young people with the skills required to make positive life choices and support them in their growth and development.

The Youth Life Project is centered around the voice of the youth, therefore being the charity they want and need us to be.

Original Press Release

Swindon, November 2011 - The Youth Life Project charity has been launched in response to the media scrutiny of the youth following the August riots of 2011 to communicate the thoughts, feelings and concerns of the unheard youth.

The Youth Life Project aims to restore the faith lost in young people and equip them with the skills required to make positive life choices. Providing a service for young people in the region aged 10-19 to utilise, The Youth Life Project is born from the passion of its founder Danielle Brown for the care and well-being of young people. 

The Youth Life Project Founder Danielle, 27, has extensive experience in the charity arena working on a voluntary basis with children of all ages in youth centres and youth groups. As a keen organiser of fundraising events, creating a charity close to her heart was always going to be Danielle’s next step.

“Building a better and brighter future for the next generation of young people was the driving force behind taking my passion of charity work to the next level”, said Danielle. “Young carers, parents and the vulnerable are all in need of a voice that will speak up for them and this is what we strive to do at The Youth Life Project. We need to hear more about the positive things the young people are doing“

“We are committed to providing help and support for young people, to help them reach their full potential. These young adults are in great need of inspirational role-models and at The Youth Life Project we intend to support their development to become upstanding citizens and role models. “I remain a huge believer in community spirit and embracing that spirit with the youth. It is important that we ensure youth feel a sense of belonging and consider themselves key stakeholders in their communities in order for them to be the best that they can be.”

Danielle Brown is seeking further funding to support The Youth Life Project, if you are interested in supporting the project please email youthlifeproject@gmail.com
