Yorkshire Building Society

Our Head Office is based in West Yorkshire on the southern outskirts of Bradford, just 3 miles from J26 M62 for easy access to all local routes. Our purpose-built £32 million development is modern, comfortable and home to over 1,000 employees. We also enjoy an attractive and well-maintained garden site offering ample free on-site parking.

Facilities for Head Office employees include a subsidised restaurant, well-equipped gym, coffee lounge and pool table. Regular visitors to HO include a hairdresser, chiropodist, tailoress, nail technician and a dry cleaning service.

We also have a second building which is conveniently situated in central Bradford and houses a further 360 employees.

Learning & Development

We don’t just take into consideration who you are now, we look at what you can become. With a vision to be ‘famous for being recommended’ as a place to work and business provider, it goes without saying that our people are the masters of their own destiny. Supported by us, they drive their own learning, their own development and their own career.

From day one, we treat you as an individual. We ensure that your Induction offers a comprehensive introduction to your role and how you fit within our business as a whole.

To equip you with the right learning and development at the right time, we offer a range of learning opportunities.

Your Rewards

Our Staff Association works on behalf of employees and negotiates throughout the year in their best interests. Salaries are reviewed annually so that we remain competitive within the Financial Service industry and there’s also a confidential 24/7-telephone advice line (Lifeworks), offering free and impartial advice to employees and their family in times of need.

Your Bonus

Our Bonus Schemes are in place for both Head Office and the Branch Network, for you to benefit no matter where you join us.

In 2008, Head Office employees received a generous bonus worth up to 10% of their annual salary. The Head Office scheme is paid annually and is measured on both your individual performance and how well we perform as a whole.

Our teams who work in the Branch Network have their own sales bonus scheme, paid quarterly. A Customer Adviser can achieve up to 20% of annual salary, with a Mortgage Adviser enjoying a bonus worth up to 25% of their annual salary.

Your Recognition

We recognise your contribution in a variety of ways, both formally and informally. Cash awards of £250 and all expenses paid trips to locations including glamorous Gleneagles or Monte Carlo are a taster of the formal rewards we offer for exceptional results or role modelling great behaviours. And more informally, free ice-creams on Yorkshire Day and sticky buns could be coming your way if we win an industry award. Not to mention love heart sweets on Valentines Day to add to the fun!

Your Discounts

We offer a Staff Mortgage facility and Staff Savings Account that both provide a preferential rate of interest.

We believe that our people are the secret to our success. We work hard to ensure that our rewards reflect our belief, for you to feel the benefit of coming to work with us
