Learning & Development

Build skills. Gain confidence. Explore new opportunities.

When you grow, our business does too, and that's great news for our members.

Learning is part of the everyday at Skipton.

It’s woven into conversations and brought to life through hands-on experiences. You’ll pick up new skills as you go, and get tools and support that flex around your role and life.

Why? Well it’s great for you, your career and your future, of course. But it’s also something we do for our members, too. Because when we’re all better able to deliver for our members they’re better able to meet their own financial goals.

And that’s why we’re here, after all.

There's more than one path to success here

We don’t expect everyone to build their career the same way. Some deepen their skills in their current role. Others explore new areas over time. Right now, we’re building a clear framework, so you know which skills matter, how you can progress, and what great looks like in your role.

We're here to help you do your best

At Skipton, development isn't a once-a-year event. You’ll have ongoing conversations about your strengths, goals and the skills you want to master next. Our managers take a coaching approach. They listen, ask questions and help you work out your next move.

And we never stop listening

We encourage colleagues to tell us what’s working and what isn’t. We listen carefully because feedback shapes how we share opportunities, build skills and make career growth clearer for everyone. We want development to feel fair, open and part of everyday work.

Learning through work and experience

A lot of development happens on the job. Like when you take on new opportunities, work through challenges and  learn from teams around you.  We also support external training, apprenticeships and professional qualifications that match your role and your goals.

Tools and resources right when you need them

Our learning platform is open to everyone and brings all your training together in one place. You’ll find courses for your job, new skills, and personal growth. It’s easy to find what you need and learn at your own pace.

Sarah, Planning Co-ordinator

I’ve only been with Skipton Building Society for a short time, but it’s been a fantastic start. I joined the Financial Planning team to develop my skills in giving financial advice while working towards my Diploma. 

With great support from my leader and colleagues, I’m learning every day and aiming to become a qualified adviser within the next couple of years.
