Not just another building society. Not just another job. Imagine how good it would feel to help someone choose the mortgage they’ll use to buy their first home. Or the account they’ll use to save for it. We’ve been helping people make big financial decisions since 1853. It’s why over a million customers trust us as a good place for their money, and why our colleagues say we’re a good place to work.

Our vision from day one has been to build a better society and that vision remains true to this day. You won’t just find details of roles and careers on this site. You’ll learn about our culture and the behaviours we value to unleash your talent and enable you to grow and thrive in service of our members and customers.

Happy colleagues mean happy customers. So, when we recruit, we don’t just think about what’s in it for us, we think about what’s in it for you. It’s one of the reasons we’ve repeatedly been recognised as one of The Times Best Companies to Work for. It’s not just our members that we offer exclusive rates and great benefits to. It’s the same for our colleagues because we know we’re only as good as our brilliant people, so we recognise and reward you for your hard work.

Creating the right environment for our colleagues to perform at their best is key. Wherever your working environment is, you’ll be part of an open and inclusive culture where trusted relationships are built and purposeful performance and learning conversations take place in support of your role and career.

While we encourage you to be you and grow here in your own unique way, what unites us is our core purpose: to help more people into homes, to help people save for life ahead, and to support long-term financial well-being.
