ABOUT YOU

We’re not just looking for your experience and skills. We’re also interested in who you are as a person. Why? Because our customers are made up of so many different kinds of people and we want our employees to be just as diverse.
Are you someone who really does want to make a difference for our customers? Working for a building society you will have the opportunity to change someone’s life for the better. You’ll take care of our customers from guiding them through online banking to discussing our range of services whilst adapting your style to suit all our customer’s needs. You need to be comfortable using digital tools and applications.
We are the front line in protecting our customers, building our society.

Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:

• Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind
• Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand
• Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development
• Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes

You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.
