1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

On a daily basis I interact with customers helping them with their business banking queries. I look after a portfolio of customers who I offer lending and NatWest products to. The goal of my role is to ensure I am providing the best customer service to my clients and that I am upholding the values of the organisation.

2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

Yes, I am constantly learning in this role, especially with it being customer facing. Other than the practical skills you learn on the job that help you succeed in the role, you also learn a lot of soft skills and about yourself. This role has allowed me to develop my confidence in speaking to lots of different people and collaborating across different sectors of the organisation. I have also built up my resilience and desire to take on difficult challenges in my job.
