Are you an employee looking for the way back to the Public Trust intranet?
At Public Trust, we help New Zealanders protect what matters most to them and their whanau. Our wide range of services make the tricky parts of life a little simpler, so our customers can get back to doing what they love.
Our retail business works with customers on their estate plans - predominantly by writing wills, enduring powers of attorneys, and trusts - either in our branches or via our online service.
We also manage and administer estates, carrying out the wishes laid out in our customers' wills. We are the largest estate administrator in the country, and it is our core business activity.
The work we do can be tough at times, so it's important that our people can demonstrate the empathy, emotional intelligence, and resilience that is needed when helping our customers plan for their future.
We are seeking a Senior Trustee to join our Christchurch Customer Centre.
Our Senior Trustees form a key part of our trustee teams, partnering with our Trustees and Principal Trustees to provide exceptional service by connecting with our customers to manage their family assets, wills, estates, enduring powers of attorney, and trusts to plan for their future.
In this varied role, you will support the Principal Trustee on more complex files, while coaching and mentoring our Associate Trustees on less complex work. You will work with customers face to face and behind the scenes to establish their needs and provide appropriate solutions from Public Trust's products and services.
This is a unique opportunity that requires someone with a high level of empathy, commercial acumen, and exceptional interpersonal skills to work with our customers in what can often be a difficult time for them.
