About us

Admiral Money is the dynamic lending arm of Admiral Group, offering personal loans, motor finance, and homeowner loans since 2017. We’re building something special for our customers and are looking for curious, driven individuals ready to learn, take on challenges, and make an impact.

The role

This is a great opportunity to join our Collections team - and it’s probably not what you see on TV. This role goes beyond answering phones. We put our customers at the heart of everything we do, and when they’re struggling to pay, we need people who can listen, reassure them and, through effective questioning, understand what has led to their situation. The role is about supporting and advising customers to help get them back on the right track.

In this role, you’ll be responsible for maintaining our reputation as a caring, responsible and understanding lender. You’ll complete your work diligently to help us make the right business decisions, based on the information shared by customers.

As the business grows, you’ll develop a detailed understanding of consumer lending, supported by regular coaching, training and feedback. You’ll also gain exposure to other teams across the business, helping to broaden your skills and experience. Being successful in this role can lead to a stable and rewarding career, with clear progression opportunities within a regulated environment.

Please note: The successful candidate will be expected to work from our Cardiff office one day per week. This is a Monday-Friday role with no weekend working requirements.

Your Day

Our Collections Executives work closely with customers who are in early arrears to help bring their accounts back into good health, agreeing repayments that are affordable and sustainable. This is achieved by taking the time to understand each customer’s individual circumstances, showing empathy and respect, and providing fair outcomes and positive experiences at all times.

We pride ourselves on our fair and ethical approach and on supporting every customer on their road to financial recovery. If you’re customer‑focused, enjoy talking to people and want to make a meaningful difference to those you interact with, we’d love to hear from you.

As a Collections Executive, you’ll excel at listening, be able to explain things clearly, and take an empathetic approach, tailoring each conversation to the customer’s needs. You’ll have the confidence to take responsibility for customer outcomes, using your knowledge and experience to ensure every customer finishes the call feeling valued and supported.

We know our people are our biggest investment, which is why we ensure every new team member receives comprehensive training. We value behaviours and potential as much as direct experience, so if you can demonstrate strong customer communication skills, empathy and excellent listening ability, you could be exactly who we’re looking for.

Essential Criteria

To be successful in this role, you will be able to demonstrate:

• Experience in a similar role within debt collection, arrears, customer service or credit control.
• Confidence in speaking with customers in arrears and experience of agreeing payment plans that support their individual circumstances.
• A naturally curious and inquisitive approach, helping you to understand customers' circumstances and how we can best support them.
• A customer-focused mindset and pride in achieving positive outcomes for people who need financial support.
• A willingness to learn, develop, take on feedback and continuously improve.
  Comfort working in a telephony-based role, enjoying collaboration with colleagues and demonstrating a positive work ethic.
• The ability to support customers, recognise complaints and provide fair and responsible resolutions.
• The ability to identify vulnerable customers and manage sensitive situations with empathy, care and professionalism.
