The society is creating the new roles as it develops its digital investment programme to help improve customer service and boost operational efficiency.

Rebecca Fitzgerald, senior technology delivery manager at Yorkshire Building Society said it was a really exciting time to work for Yorkshire Building Society.

Fitzgerald said: “As an engineering house located in one of the UK’s FinTech hubs, with a great engineering environment, managing our home-grown technology, renovating and re-architecting as we adopt digital advancement, with the flexibility to work with external experts on specialist projects.

“Our IT department ranges from colleagues who began their roles as apprentices in the past few years to professionals who have worked with us for more than 30 years.

“We have a huge variety of different roles and projects, so there’s something for every IT professional, regardless of experience.

“Our people are our greatest assets and we are focused on nurturing, developing and investing in our colleagues so they can provide real help to our customers.”

Yorkshire said it offers flexible working, including a combination of office and work-from-home. Other benefits include a generous holiday allowance and family leave, competitive salaries and an annual bonus scheme.

There is flexiblity for colleagues to choose benefits personalised to them as well as coaching, training and development.

Fitzgerald added: “As a large and ambitious organisation, we’re big enough to offer IT professionals a challenge and compact enough for them to make a real impact. There are many paths open to colleagues as well as the support available to help people progress their career in the way they choose.”
