At YBS, we’re here to do what’s right. Not just for our members who use our savings and mortgage products. But for our communities, our society, and our world. And it all begins with our people.
We’ve created the kind of workplace where you can make a difference. It’s somewhere you can put purpose ahead of profit. Where you can balance commerciality with conscience. Where you can focus on growing, developing, learning, and progressing. Where you can be your best.
And where you can do the right thing - for you, your career, and your future.
About this role
As our next Business Development Adviser, you’ll aim to increase mortgage volume and quality through the intermediary market as part of our Accord Sales team. It’s about engaging with mortgage intermediaries through a range of communication channels, including inbound phone calls and Webchat, to achieve a high volume of quality lending while delivering excellent sales and service propositions.
You’ll spend much of your time helping mortgage intermediaries with complex case enquiries. And you’ll also build and maintain strong working relationships with other business areas to make sure we’re able to offer our customers the very best service.
What we’re looking for
Brilliant customer experiences are what make us tick, so you’ll need excellent communication skills and an ability to build strong relationships inside and outside of our business. It’s a fast paced role too, so you’ll also need to be able to demonstrate that you can keep up with demand by managing your time and workloads effectively.
And, just as importantly, you’ll be passionate about making the most of opportunities to develop your skills across lots of other areas of our business.
What’s in it for you
In return, we’ll reward you with a competitive salary, and an annual bonus scheme. Not to mention a wide range of flexible benefits that you can take advantage of in and out of work. Then, there’s our commitment to you and your career. We’re an exciting business, which means we offer lots of exciting career paths, too.
And finally, you’ll be able to make the most of an incredibly diverse and inclusive culture. And it’s one we’re really proud of. In fact, we’re passionate about making sure everyone is welcome - and we don’t think it will take long for you to feel like you belong here, too.

Learning & Development
Everyone can build a career path they love here. And that’s because we offer a wide range of programmes, opportunities and more to help you learn, grow, and develop – and reach your full potential.

These include...
- Personal Growth Toolkits - a range of materials that help you discover your strengths, identify your goals, and your next steps.
- Secondment and Stretch opportunities – helping you gain experience in different areas of our business and new ways of working.
- Learning Champion Network – opportunities to work outside of your immediate area and build new skills.
- Apprenticeships and Professional Qualifications – a range of brilliant apprenticeships and programmes available to everyone.
- REACH Diverse Leadership Programme – helping our Black, Asian and Ethnically Diverse leaders progress into senior leadership roles.
Diversity, Equity & Inclusion
You’ll find people from all walks of life here, with different cultures, beliefs, ages, outlooks and more. And we’re proud of our differences. So we’re dedicated to creating a workplace where everyone feels welcome, supported, and empowered to be their whole self at work.
Our five Colleague Networks play an important role in helping that happen – and have a real impact on our everyday working life here. Each is closely linked to our Inclusion and Diversity committee, and sponsored by a member of our Senior Leadership Team.





And we also have other colleague groups, such as ManKind and Family Foundations, where colleagues can connect, and start conversations that can be taken into the Networks.
Community and Charity
Ever since we started back in 1864, we’ve had a clear purpose – to do some good in our communities through helping people keep their savings safe. And helping everyone have a place to call home. Today, that purpose is still a huge part of who we are. And every one of our colleagues helps that happen.
We’re committed to volunteering our time, resources, skills and knowledge – more than 50% of colleagues contribute to thousands of volunteer hours every year. And our Charitable Foundation has now donated over £9 million to charities and good causes across the country.
Our ways of working

We know there’s no single right way of working that fits everyone. That’s why we’re not trying to find one. Instead, we’re doing everything we can to make sure that when we’re working flexibly, together and apart, we’re working at our best. And help our colleagues get the most out of work, and take care of themselves, wherever they’re working.
Whether you’re in an office-based team or your team is spread across the country, you’ll have lots of chances to get together with your colleagues for those Moments that Matter – which are all about building wonderful relationships and strong bonds with your colleagues.
