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.
The purpose of the Finance division is to own the responsibility for driving an increase in value for our members. We do this through our day to day work; providing insight by delivering timely, accurate and relevant MI, helping drive the right outcomes and supporting the Group's strategic priorities. Key to this is the quality of the relationships we build, having the passion and drive to make a difference, our diverse thought, our management of risk and control and our ability to individually and collectively drive lasting change for our members.
As an employer who encourages flexible working please get in touch if you wish to discuss flexible reduced working hours. The cost and investment reporting team are currently working from home so you will start your journey with us being home based with some potential travel to our Leeds site with a view to move forward to office based working.
