Why Work With Us
We believe that our greatest asset is our people, and only by developing and rewarding them can we successfully meet the needs of our millions of customers.
We treat our people fairly, help them progress in a supportive and friendly environment, and give them the rewards they deserve.
Growth and development
If you want to grow your skills and your prospects, then Britannia is the place for you. Wherever you work for us, you will have a detailed personal development plan, designed to help you succeed in your current role and take you to your next level. To do this we have over 80 accredited coaches delivering £13 million worth of training and development every year.
Our commitment to developing our people has been recognised by our Investors in People accreditation and National Training Award nominations, but more importantly, 93% of our people told us that they felt we helped them improve their skills and knowledge last year.
Rewards and Benefits
We believe in rewarding your efforts and results fairly, and so in addition to a competitive salary, your benefits package will include 25 days paid holiday (pro rata), a concessionary mortgage and savings scheme and a defined contributions pension scheme.
You'll also have the opportunity to select benefits to suit your individual needs through Britannia's flexible benefits scheme – ‘Mutual Benefits’. Currently, the options include: holiday trading, childcare vouchers, dental insurance, bicycle leasing, private medical insurance and online discounted shopping through ‘Britannia Lifestyle’.
In addition, we provide a free employee assistance programme that is available to every employee and their families for 24/7 advice and support on a variety of topics such as health & well being, childcare, legal and finances.
Flexible working
We have been recognised by the government as an exemplar employer and won the ‘Opportunity Now Private Sector Award 2007’ for our approach to flexible working, so arrangements such as job share and part-time hours are often available. Recently, 88% of our people told us that they feel able to balance their work and home life.
Britannia is a trading name used by The Co-operative Bank p.l.c., part of The Co-operative Financial Services.
