Whatever your background, and whatever your goals, we'll help you take the next step towards a better future.
You will be joining the Banking Team which consists of 2 Banking Specialists and 6 Banking Consultants. The Banking Team works closely with the Societies Payments Team ensuring customer payments are handled with care and consideration, whilst also taking care of the Societies Bank Accounts to ensure the safety and soundness of the society is upheld.
