Exciting apprenticeship opportunity in the role of Customer Service Advisor in Hamilton is now open for applications at HSBC.
This programme will begin in October 2018.
Working as a Customer Service Advisor you will answer calls from our customers and take the hassle out of banking for them. Our customers call us for all sorts of reasons and tell us they want their requests dealing with speed, certainty and empathy, so these are key skills we look for. It could be anything from helping them pay everyday bills to saving for something special. Taking a genuine interest by building rapport and asking open questions is what our customers look for.
This is a full time role. Banking and Contact Centre experience are not essential. What we’re really interested in is a genuine passion for going above-and-beyond for our customers. Everything else we can teach you!
As An Apprentice with HSBC:
· You will work towards and complete a nationally recognised vocational qualification in Providing Financial Service (equivalent to NVQ Level 3)
· You will achieve a Certificate in Retail Banking Conduct of Business (CertRBCB)
· You will gain satisfaction and self-confidence from knowing your capabilities have been successful assessed against an established national framework
· The professional qualifications behind the Apprenticeship Programme and the experience through the Customer Services role will provide you with a great opportunity to progress your career with us and explore development opportunities that are available to you.

Due to a number of changes recently within our Pupil Support Team – here is a wee reminder of the staff and their houses.
Why is parental engagement important?
“Parents and families are the most important and influential people in children and young people’s lives, and are central to achieving our aims of raising attainment for all and closing the attainment gap. We will support all schools to further improve parental engagement and develop family learning programmes that support children’s progress and achievement’.

Help your child get a head start in their career
Foundation Apprenticeships are changing the way young people learn.
Lasting for two years, they are available to pupils moving into fifth year and are taken alongside their other school subjects like National 5s or Highers as one of their subject choices.
Young people working towards a Foundation Apprenticeship gain knowledge, skills and hands-on industry experience at college and with a local employer. It is an industry-recognised qualification set at SCQF level 6 – the same level of learning as a Higher.
Why should your child choose a Foundation Apprenticeship?
Foundation Apprenticeships are a great way for young people to broaden their options and get a taste of their potential career before they’ve left school. With a Foundation Apprenticeship, when your child leaves school they will have developed the knowledge, skills and experience to:

Your child will already be thinking about what subjects they want to study next year. If you think a Foundation Apprenticeship might help them to get a head start in their career please encourage them to speak to their guidance teacher, Mr Conaghan or Mrs McDade.
