I was asked by Bank of Scotland if I would like to join them for 3 months to help assist with the transition of customers from Grand Central Savings to help them settle in and also help with their needs and wants. Whilst I was there I would also be the first point of contact for any customers who came in to the branch. I would try to assist them with any queries they might have and if I was unable to do so then would redirect them to the appropriate colleague who could help them. I would also help customers pay in cash or cheques through the Immediate Deposit Machine.

Within this job my roles and responsibilities were to maintain a banking facility for customers, some of which were socially and financially excluded individuals. This meant that I had to ensure that all branch transactions were accurately and efficiently processed and recorded. I was also responsible for cashing cheques, accepting deposits as well as paying out cash withdrawals to customers. I completed an SVQ3 Modern Apprenticeship in Customer Service whilst working there and I was then able to supervise a new Modern Apprentice that was hired. I was the main key holder to the property and as such was the first point of contact for any call outs which happened.

My role and responsibilities included assisting customers and staff when they telephone the office, collecting, sorting and distributing the mail, both incoming and outgoing. I would help maintain their financial records, type up letters, minutes and feedback sessions. I would also help design and create leaflets and posters. I contributed to the children in the Autistic Play Scheme by creating a “Behind the Scenes” movie project for them to enjoy. I had the responsibility of re-organising the filing cabinets, photocopying and filing invoices/letters appropriately.
