At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

For this job you'll spend at least two days per week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, at one of our offices. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works. You can also find out more about our approach to hybrid working here .

If we receive a high volume of relevant applications, we may close the advert earlier than the advertised date, so please apply as soon as you can.

What you’ll be doing

You will be supporting all types of talent (including career changers, graduates, apprentices and interns), from those who could be starting their career through to those who are changing theirs.

You’ll take responsibility for the day-to-day pastoral care of talent, along with the longer term shaping of the programme, so you’ll be a strong team player, comfortable with colleagues across all levels of seniority.


Day-to-day you will:

  • Manage the communications internal and external stakeholders of our programmes and partnerships
  • Liaise with senior representatives across COO to deliver agreed outcomes.
  • Support and refine talent processes, including attraction, onboarding, recruitment, development, business readiness and deployment.
  • Effective coaching and feedback to direct reports to ensure achievement of agreed outcomes.
  • Advise individuals on career paths and encourage development of skills and capabilities.
  • Drive continuous improvement across the scheme, including managing some of our partners and suppliers.
About you
  • We need someone with a talent management/skills development background who can build and maintain strong relationships with early career direct reports, their line managers and with senior colleagues across the Society. Ideally an experienced professional with a proven track record of success and excellent communication skills.
  • Experience in the life cycle of recruiting, developing, and deploying talent across schemes such as school students, industrial placements, graduates, career changers, apprentices, interns and industrial placements is desirable.

Additionally, you’ll need:

  • A passion for encouraging a diverse and inclusive mix of people to kick start a career in technology and change
  • Understanding of early careers offerings, outreach activities and recruitment within the external market
  • The ability to pastorally support groups of learners and the ability to work with their line managers to make sure the environment is right for them to progress at pace
  • Excellent communication skills both verbal and written, with the ability to influence at all levels
  • Experience of training delivery such as induction, mentoring and/or coaching background
  • Experience of promoting and facilitating development events

Our Customer First behaviours are all about putting customers and members at the heart of how we work together. You can strengthen your application by showing the behaviours that resonate with you, and how you might have already demonstrated these.

  • Say it straight - This is about being honest and direct with good intent and saying what needs to be said in the room. It’s also about being clear, precise, and using language that we and, importantly, our customers and members can understand.
  • Push for better - This is about aiming high and constantly looking for better in how we work together and serve our customers and members.
  • Get it done - This is about prioritising what will have the greatest impact, being decisive and taking accountability for delivering on the end-to-end outcome.

We know applying for jobs can sometimes feel like you’re sending an application into a black hole. We review each application individually. So, it’s a good idea to call out your most relevant experience on your application to give yourself the best chance.

The extras you’ll get

There are all sorts of employee benefits available at Nationwide, including:

  • A personal pension – if you put in 7% of your salary, we’ll top up by a further 16%
  • Up to 2 days of paid volunteering a year
  • Life assurance worth 8x your salary
  • A great selection of additional benefits through our salary sacrifice scheme
  • Wellhub – Access to a range of free and paid options for health and wellness.
  • Access to an annual performance related bonus
  • Access to training to help you develop and progress your career
  • 25 days holiday, pro rata
What makes us different

Nationwide is the world’s largest building society. With over 15 million customers, we have a relationship with almost a quarter of the UK’s population. We’ve got the scale to compete with the big banks, but we’re not a bank.

As a building society, we’re owned by our members – that’s our customers who have their current account, mortgage or savings with us. It means we can do things differently to deliver our Purpose – Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society.

When you work at Nationwide, you can experience that difference for yourself. You’ll be part of a high-performing, purpose-driven organisation that offers rewarding career experiences and a highly competitive range of benefits to match. You’ll also be joining us at an important time as we seek to reach more and more people in the UK. We want everyone in the UK to know that they don’t have to bank with a bank. They can choose a modern mutual instead.

What to do next

If this role is for you, please click the ‘Apply Now’ button. You’ll need to attach your up-to-date CV and answer a few quick questions for us.

We respond to everyone, so we will be in contact shortly after the closing date to let you know the outcome of your application.
