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 the role
In this rewarding role you will be afforded a real opportunity to progress your skills, your career and will be suitably rewarded as you grow in your role.
- Provide excellent customer service by being the first point of contact for our mortgage intermediaries, managing inbound calls on behalf of the lending department
- Ensure you give accurate case updates whilst working closely with the underwriters to make sure we are delivering a seamless customer experience.
- Provide support to other areas of the YBS as needed, growing your wider skills and experience as you do
About you
You’ll spend much of your day communicating over the phone and by email with intermediaries and other colleagues, so strong communication skills and an ability to quickly build relationships are essential.
Customer service experience is also important, as you’ll play an important part in helping us provide the best possible service to our customers. And because things can change fast and often, you’ll have excellent attention to detail, lots of resilience, and a genuine ability to take setbacks in your stride.
- Excellent communication skills
- Good listening skills and the ability to effectively build relationships
- Be resilient and confident in your knowledge when speaking with customers and stakeholders
About us:
- At YBS we don’t have shareholders, we have members. We care about people and that includes you. So here, you’ll be respected for who you are, you’ll be able to bring your whole self to work, and you’ll have everything you need to build a long and rewarding career.
- Flexibility 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.
- Development. We want you to feel challenged here. Whatever your ambitions, we’re committed to helping you develop your skills and move ahead in your career journey. From day one, we’ll set you up for success with a brilliant induction and full training plan, all designed to get you up to speed quickly.
- Inclusivity. We’re passionate about creating an inclusive environment where everyone is welcome and able to be themselves. If you’ll go the extra mile to help our members, you’ll fit right in and feel you belong here.

Our Colleague Networks & Groups
Our Vision is to be a leading organisation that embraces diversity, champions equity, and creates an inclusive environment where all individuals regardless of their background or identity feel valued, empowered and supported.
Our Colleague Networks and Groups are designed to amplify the voices of diverse groups and provide a structured route to effect real change. They provide a safe space and use colleague feedback to support the progression of our DEI Strategy. Our eight networks and groups are:
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.
