Collections Coordinator Full Time

Swindon – Hybrid

We’re Arval BNP Paribas – we’re a global leader in vehicle leasing and the fourth largest leasing company in the UK. Our passion for Service, Sustainability, and Solutions is brought to life by each and every one of our people – who we call Journey Makers.

Culturally, we’re a friendly bunch – more human than corporate – and we serve a diverse customer base. From families choosing their first electric vehicle, to global brands seeking to switch their fleets to electric vehicles – whatever our customers’ mobility needs, we have a solution to offer.

Why join Arval?

In addition to the benefits and opportunities that come with being part of a progressive global banking group, we have a supportive and collaborative culture where wellbeing and work-life balance are taken seriously. Which is why we recently won the title of Employer of the Year in the South West Business of the Year Awards.

About The Role

Working in a small and supportive team, you’ll be helping customers to manage their arrears. Customers can fall into arrears for many reasons – it could be as straightforward as a failed direct debit, an ongoing complaint, or a change in financial circumstances. Whatever the reason, your purpose will be to provide reassurance, show empathy and compassion and use your great listening and problem-solving skills to support the customer and agree the best way forward. One of the most important aspects of this role is the quality of the conversations you have with customers to ensure that we’re always delivering good customer outcomes.

In addition to the above, some of your key responsibilities will include:

• Ensuring any complaints, issues, or disputes are taken into account when customers are in arrears
• Processing payments and direct debit instructions by email and over the phone
• Reviewing and updating customer account records
• Identifying vulnerable customers and ensuring we put the right support in place
• Working with customers to assess affordability

What we’re looking for

You’re compassionate, empathetic and have a strong desire to help people. You feel strongly that every customer deserves to be treated with care regardless of their circumstances. You enjoy a role with plenty of variety and are comfortable splitting your time between phone conversations and administrative tasks.

You’ll Also Be Able To Demonstrate

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Good telephone manner
• Strong listening skills with the ability to put people at ease
• Good IT skills, with knowledge of Excel and confidence when learning to use new systems
• You’re a team player with a can-do attitude

The package

We offer a basic starting salary of up to £28,000, plus a bonus of up to £1,100. We also offer 25 days holiday as standard, plus bank holidays and an extra day off for your birthday.

We Also Provide a Comprehensive Benefits Package, Including

• Private medical cover, including a digital GP service
• Company pension.
• Discounts on our products and services and discounts in many high street brands
• 2 paid volunteering days every year
• Free on-site gym
• Subsidised restaurant serving chef-prepared breakfast and lunch, plus discounted Costa Coffee
