Apprentices embarking on a career as a senior financial services customer adviser will work at a bank, building society or other financial services organisation, such as a life insurer. You’ll be dealing with customers and their product and service needs, so you’ll develop a high level of technical knowledge and skills across a range of them.

Senior financial services customer advisers will typically work with individuals, businesses or on a small portfolio of accounts, and could focus on understanding and meeting customer needs with the right products and services; promoting new digital services; proactively calling customers to deepen relationships; resolving tricky complaints; and working with other areas of the organisation.
