Can you move up from a backup lead teller position?

Career progression typically depends on performance, additional training, and the bank's internal promotion policies.

What is a backup lead teller?

Backup Lead Tellers are experienced bank employees who step in to fulfill the duties of a Lead Teller when the primary Lead Teller is unavailable. They are responsible for overseeing daily teller operations, providing guidance to other tellers, ensuring compliance with policies, and assisting with customer transactions. Backup Lead Tellers help maintain smooth branch operations by supporting both staff and management. This role often requires strong leadership, problem-solving skills, and a deep understanding of banking procedures.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a backup lead teller, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Backup Lead Teller, you need a solid understanding of banking procedures, cash handling, and customer service, often supported by previous teller experience or relevant training. Familiarity with bank transaction software, cash counting machines, and sometimes certifications in banking operations are typically required. Strong leadership, attention to detail, and effective communication are important soft skills for managing teams and assisting customers. These skills and qualities are crucial for maintaining accuracy, efficiency, and trust in daily banking operations, especially when stepping into leadership roles as needed.

How does a backup lead teller balance their own teller duties with supporting and supervising team members?

As a Backup Lead Teller, you’re expected to perform regular teller tasks such as processing transactions and assisting customers, but also step into a leadership role when the Lead Teller is unavailable. This means you'll be responsible for guiding less experienced tellers, resolving escalated customer issues, and ensuring compliance with bank procedures. Balancing these responsibilities requires strong organizational skills and the ability to shift quickly between individual work and team support. It's common to collaborate closely with branch management and other tellers to maintain smooth operations, especially during peak hours or staff shortages.

Who Are We?

As the oldest locally-owned financial institution in Middle Georgia, MidSouth Community Federal Credit Union focuses on its members each day -- both external and internal. All team members recognize the importance of Helping People Afford Life and it is at the heart of what we do.


A Day In the Life as a Lead Teller

The primary role of a Lead Teller (non-exempt, Grade 7) at MidSouth Community FCU is to assist members by offering products and services that would improve the members' financial lives. As a Lead Teller, you will be handling financial transactions, resolving members' problems, and answering questions that cover the MidSouth spectrum of products and services. Also, you would process financial transactions, sell monetary instruments, and educate members on the features and benefits of MidSouth's products and services.


What Are We Looking For?

If you have worked in a cash-handing or customer/member-facing role that requires a high level of accuracy and attention to detail, this position may be perfect for you!

In an ever-changing world of banking, we are looking for someone who is adaptable to change and willing to see a task through from beginning to end. Additionally, we are looking for a person who is able to effectively balance priorities, while maintaining a level of high professionalism and courtesy to all members.

Experience: Five or more years of similar or related experience. History of satisfactory performance and behavior. Ability to train other Tellers (on the job training). Ability to function as backup vault custodian. Demonstrated ability to handle complex inquiries and issues successfully.

Education: A high school education or GED.

Interpersonal Skills: Courtesy, tact, and diplomacy are essential elements of the job. Work involves personal contact with others inside and/or outside the organization, generally regarding routine matters for purposes of giving or obtaining information which may require some discussion.


How is the Work Schedule?

The Lead Teller position is a full time role, working typically 40 hours weekly. There is a Saturday morning rotation for each person in the branch. For this rotation, one person in the branch would be scheduled to work during our open hours of 9 AM to 12 PM on Saturday, and would work a half-day during that week prior.

Starting Pay: $18.92 - $23.65/hour

Are You Ready to Join Our Team?

Our recruiting cycle includes reviewing all applications, conducting phone interviews, and conducting face-to-face interviews. Once we review your application and resume, you will be contacted by phone if you are selected to move forward in our hiring process.

We will reach out to every applicant once the position is filled to inform you of the status of the position.

Note: This position has been posted for both internal and external applicants - meaning that current employees are eligible for this opportunity as well. If this position is filled internally, all external applicants will be notified, stating that fact.
