Want to give your sandwich degree a bit more flavour? Skipton Building Society could be the perfect filling for your 12-month placement. We’re the UK’s fourth largest building society with more than 60 departments, employing more than 1,700 people and we can’t wait to share our experience with you at this exciting stage in your career.
The role
If you think financial services is just about numbers, you couldn’t be more wrong. Working as part of our Digital Team you will be helping to publish content across Skipton’s websites. You’ll have exposure to working in squads and contributing to the continual improvement of our online assets. This role interacts and builds relationships with many teams across the business to ensure website content is worked on collaboratively, approved and published meeting agreed plans and business goals.
You’ll be responsible for picking up content briefs from across the organisation and turning them into web pages which give our customers a fantastic user experience. This incorporates working toward set page objectives and translating this into something tangible, learning the ins and outs of our Content Management System, working with stakeholders to obtain full sign off for promotions and contributing to retrospective reviews of the effectiveness of the content.
While you’re with us you’ll make an active contribution in your own role and see the technical, creative and strategic sides of the business too. You’ll meet mentors, make friends and build a network of professional contacts that could last throughout your career.
Ideal candidate
You’ll need to be on a ‘sandwich’ degree from any discipline. We’ve adapted really well to home-working and although our head office is in Skipton, there would not be a requirement for this role to be based there full time as we have a flexible hybrid working approach.
We welcome people who are inquisitive and enthusiastic with a little experience of managing workloads and prioritising deadlines. This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to get stuck in, develop as a person and learn new things – and we’ll be there with you every step of the way.
Applications are now open and will close in January. We will then be looking to take forward successful applicants to assessment in February.
