Overview of the Role

Overall, how would you describe your experience at Newcastle Building Society?
My experience at NBS has been really good, the onboarding process was really easy and they have a really good early talent programme which helps when starting a new job as it meant we could all build relationships with people in similar situations through the activities they had taking place. Everyone at NBS is very kind and caring and makes you feel valued in every conversation. No one makes you feel like you can't do things because you've just finished university and don't have past experiences. The hybrid working system is really good and it means that whilst you are adjusting to working life, its made a bit easier that you have the option to work remotely or in the office.
What are the main responsibilities of the role and which elements of the role do you enjoy the most?
I am involved with the pricing team in the NSSL side of the business. I really enjoy all elements of my role and feel that this role is really helping improve my skills.
To what extent does your role give you the opportunity to contribute meaningfully and feel valued by your team?

How does your compensation package - including perks & benefits - fairly remunerate you for the work you do?
5/5
The benefits package is really good, it offers government schemes such as Cycle to work and Electric car schemes. The company also offers a colleague mortgage scheme which can be really helpful for younger people who are looking to move out and get on the property ladder. They also offer Gym membership as a salary sacrifice which is really helpful. There is also the ability to buy and sell 5 holidays per year which is good for those who like to travel.
