Each YBS branch has its own unique character and strengths, making every location a special place to work. Here’s what the hiring manager says about our Norwich Branch.

"Norwich is the hub branch of East Anglia. We have a large, highly experienced, and diverse team of colleagues who are all passionate about supporting customers with their variety of needs at first point of contact.

Being one of the larger branches across the society means we get to try out lots of new things, and new ways of working. This means you will have exposure to a variety of business areas through the support we provide to the wider business, such as telephony and postal queries to name a few.

In Norwich you will receive training through a dedicated onboarding journey which will enable you to service our customers’ needs and requirements through multiple channels at first point of contact, including face to face, post, online and telephone queries. As well as day to day tasks and activities, we strongly support individual personal growth and development. There will be opportunities to engage and work with other branches across the network, as well as taking part in community activities both in and out of the branch".

Our ways of working and flexibility

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. We help our colleagues get the most out of work, and take care of themselves, wherever they’re working.

We offer a range of flexible working options without unsocial hours, which can help you find a healthy work-life balance. Whether it’s finishing early for an appointment or fitting your studies and hobbies in around your working hours, we can help make it work for you. We’re happy to talk flexible working and you can reach out to us anytime during the recruitment process to discuss this.

Our commitments to 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.
