Why Skipton?
Ours is a business built to last.
In 1853, we set out on our journey towards looking after people and their communities. Over 170 years later, we’re still growing bigger, better and stronger every day.
Founded on fairness
In 2026, we were named as one of the Financial Times Best Employers in the UK. We were also the highest placed building society on the list, too.
Not bad, right? But it’s much more than just another opportunity to blow our own trumpet. It truly reflects how our people experience working here.
Because at Skipton, we’re a mutual. We’re founded on fairness, built on shared effort, and committed to saying it straight. We’re curious, brave and always collaborative. We look out for each other. And we treat everyone like a grown-up - with respect, with understanding, with a level playing field at their feet.
Then there's Skipton itself.
You’ll find us throughout England and Scotland, but we call Skipton our home.
As the gateway to the Yorkshire Dales, it’s known for its rolling hills and down-to-earth community. It’s friendly. It’s welcoming. It’s accessible. And the quality of life here is genuinely hard to beat.
It’s no wonder Skipton was named as the UK’s "happiest place" to live in a 2025 survey by property website Rightmove.
You can get on, get ahead, and get where you want to go
Join us and you’ll make a difference for our members. You’ll do work that actually means something. Whether you’re helping someone buy their first home, save for later life, or anything in between, you’ll find a better way to make that happen. You’ll be a true champion of our members’ financial dreams.
In return, we’ll back your ambition with real purpose, a sense of community, and a plan for career growth. You’ll have the space to experiment. The encouragement to ask “what if?” And the support to turn good ideas into better realities.
We know that we’re nothing without our people. And if you can bring a bit of spark, we also know that we can go far together.
Deal?
