Working at Yorkshire Building Society

Imagine it. Change it. Lead it. Do it.

Apprenticeships at YBS. For everyone’s future.

For over 150 years, we’ve provided real help with real life. For us, as a building society, it means helping people to have a place to call home, helping them towards greater financial wellbeing, and creating long-term value for our members.

Owned by our 3 million members, everything we do, and every decision we make is for their benefit. 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, so we can spend more time with our members and help them to manage their money more easily. Our commitment to our members and wider society makes us different.

Our programmes are different to others too. We want our Apprentices to imagine themselves as a future leader, because that’s what they grow into and why we invest in their development so much. It’s why we also offer a permanent contract from day one. Demonstrating our commitment to career development.

We ask our Apprentices to find ways to change the world around them, by coming up with ideas that makes positive change to the way we look after customers, people, communities and the environment.

And we give them the freedom and support to lead the way in a new world of finance. This is commerciality with a conscience. Where profit is invested back into business growth, members see a great return and society as a whole benefit. Doing it right and doing it well.

Our dedication to future leaders at YBS has now increased. We were incredibly proud to announce two new Apprentice schemes during National Apprentice Week 2021. The IT & Digital Degree Apprenticeship and The Customer Advisor Apprenticeship are now open. To everyone of any age, any background and any experience. Because we know that being different often makes all the difference.

If you share our commitment to the customer, if you can bring a sense of curiosity to find better ways to support our communities, if you can continuously improve how we work and if you can create solutions that are sustainable and environmentally beneficial, your future can begin here.

" Our Emerging Talent Programmes are a key part of our three-year strategy to build skills for the future and create a community of future leaders who will make a positive difference to everyone’s future. Our programmes are unique as we offer a permanent contract from day one. And we welcome people from every background, regardless of age or experience. This difference of life-experience often makes all the difference. We are proud to be introducing two new programmes that will shape our society, build talent for tomorrow and support the communities we live and work in."
