Departments available for you consider are:

  • Banking

  • Compliance
  • Credit (Underwriting)
  • Customer Services
  • Finance
  • IT
  • Mortgage Sales
  • Mortgage Services

All new colleagues are matched with a Buddy who is there to provide support, guidance and advice whenever needed. Skipton’s Buddy Scheme is very popular and helps new colleagues settle into the business.
