Yorkshire Building Society

About YBS

One of the UK’s largest building societies, we offer all kinds of career routes from IT and Strategy to Customer Service roles in our contact centre and branches.

For over 150 years, we’ve provided real help with real life. For us, as a building society, it means helping with those big moments in life, from finding a place to call home, to saving for retirement, and everything in between.

Owned by our 3 million members, everything we do and every decision we make is for their benefit. This gives us real purpose, and we manage their £40 billion assets wisely. We shape our mortgage and savings products to meet their changing needs. And we’re investing in new tech while beginning a digital transformation journey that genuinely has diversity and inclusion at its heart. All so we can spend more time with our members and help them to manage their money more easily.

Working together as one team, our 3,500 colleagues are our heart and soul. They shape our future and they strive to deliver even better services. So, we’ll empower you to do the right thing for our members and colleagues. And we’ll provide you with all the training, support and opportunities you need to be your best.

And whether you join us at our Head Office, our contact centre or our branches, you’ll play a real part in helping to make a real difference to our members’ lives.

More about YORKSHIRE BUILDING SOCIETY

MORE ABOUT

At YBS, you’ll find identities from all areas of life, with different cultures, beliefs, ages, outlooks and more. Just like the communities we serve.

We’re proud of our differences - they make us who we are. So, it’s important for us to always go further when it comes to inclusion and diversity. Above all, we want to make sure that decency and fairness is a reality, for everyone at every level. So, we're on a journey to creating lasting change in our workplace, with every colleague, for the community.

True to our Yorkshire roots, we’re not just saying it. We really mean it.

Here's how we bring our commitment to life...

We care about people

Caring about people means learning, understanding, and sharing what we find. So, we’ll deliver more education in schools and colleges, we’ll celebrate more events like International Women’s Day and Pride, and we’ll work harder than ever to put inclusion and diversity at the heart of everything we do.

We say it straight

We know that everyone deserves a voice. But saying it straight isn’t always as easy as it sounds. So, we’ll do whatever we can to bring people together to have inclusive and thought-provoking conversations. Through colleague networks we’ll build confidence and empathy into every conversation, and we’ll be a business that really listens to anyone who speaks up.

We reach for better

When we reach for better, we’re a better business for everyone. So, we’ll take responsibility for our actions, we’ll encourage everyone to focus on growth and self-improvement, and we’ll always challenge the way we work if we believe there’s a fairer way to do it.

We make it happen

We want to live in a world where there are no barriers to success. So, we’ll harness the power of togetherness through our colleague networks, we’ll make sure our Leadership is focused on everyone’s development, and we’ll each play our part in supporting every ambition - no matter how big or small.
