Are you ready for a new challenge?
Well, if you are passionate about leading, developing and inspiring your own team as well as delivering great customer service then this is the role for you.
About the Role
As a Branch Manager you’ll be at the heart of our retail network and at the forefront of delivering YBS’ purpose. You will successfully lead two of our East Anglia branches as a Dual Site Branch Manager (Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket) to ensure that every customer receives a great service and that colleagues are motivated and enabled to deliver this.
To do this you’ll provide effective leadership to a team of Customer Consultants. You’ll support, coach and mentor them and help them with their learning and development so they can have quality conversations with customers.
From an operational perspective, you’ll ensure your branches work to high quality, risk, health, safety and security standards. You’ll also optimise resources to match customer demand and make the best use of your teams’ time, delivering cost efficiencies wherever possible and ensure that you are playing your role in delivering the retail strategy.
A key element of the role will also be to enable colleagues and the branch to reach out into the community in which you operate.
This is what the line Manager had to say about our Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket Branches:
This is a multi-site position working across the two sites of Bury St Edmunds and Newmarket. Bury St Edmunds is known for its history, beautiful outside spaces, with a great mix of independent & High Street shops, and for being Suffolk's Foodie Town with its fantastic eateries, and Newmarket known as one of the world's leading horseracing venues and equine centres.
There is no onsite parking however there are several car parks within walking distance of both sites.’

- A proven record of delivering great customer service and outcomes
- The ability to lead, develop and motivate colleagues
- Great stakeholder management skills as you’ll be working with your Area Manager and a range of Head Office functions
- Effective communication and time management

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.
