We're here to make life better for our members. Our story began in 1853 in Skipton, North Yorkshire. Today, you'll find us across England and Scotland, from Aberdeen to Plymouth. We help over a million members put down roots, save for what matters, and feel good about their money. As a mutual, they own us, so everything we do is for them. You'll feel that same fairness and purpose in how all 2,500 of our colleagues work together, too. It all means that life at Skipton is more exciting than you imagine.

Every day at Skipton is innovation day. Join our Technology team and you'll discover that we're constantly focused on real challenges as we build the tools that get things done for our members, quicker than you imagine. We talk and we listen to each other. And we make decisions as a team. That way, you get all the support you need to do work that works for everyone. We also value what everyone brings to Skipton. And we create a fair place where you can be yourself. Our colleague networks play a big role in this. They connect people with similar life experiences and make our workplace warm, friendly, inclusive and welcoming.

We work in a hybrid way, balancing flexibility with collaboration. For this role, you'll typically spend three days a week in our Skipton office, with the remaining two days working from home.

It's not just our members who are important to us. You are, too. Lots of organisations talk about wellbeing, but they don't always back it up. As a mutual, we put people first. And that includes the people who work here. So, when we say we care about your wellbeing, we mean it. Wellbeing isn't just one thing. It's about feeling good, having energy and being able to be yourself and perform at your best. That's why we offer help for your mental and physical health across five key areas. What's more, it's help that you can actually use too, not just read about.

Sounds like you? Then apply now. You don't need to tick every box. We look for people who care about our members and who want to grow at the same time. The rest can follow.

Diversity and inclusion are a priority for us as we continue to support our members and represent the communities we serve. We encourage applications from individuals of all backgrounds, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, neurodiversity, age, family or parental status, beliefs, nationalities and religions - supporting an inclusive environment for all our colleagues to bring their true selves to Skipton.

If you have a disability, or if you have a condition that you believe may affect your performance during our selection process, we’ll be happy to discuss making reasonable adjustments to our processes for you.
