  • Developing customer relationships and business opportunities within the different branch regions; and
  • Providing quality customer service to customers and non-customers over the phone and through face to face interaction.

Please Note: As this is a relief position covering both planned and unplanned leave of other staff members, you will be required to regularly work across a number of Summerland branches along the coast (from Coolangatta down to Grafton). You will be based out of the Lismore branch on the days relief work is not required.
