Who are HBOS?
As one of the leading banks on the UK high street, we have over 1,000 branches and over 22 million customers. We’re the umbrella organisation for household names like Halifax, Bank of Scotland, Birmingham Midshires, Intelligent Finance, Clerical Medical and Esure.  And, along with our reputation for offering the best services and products around, we can also offer plenty of reasons for you to join us.

What’s it like working for us?
We’ve built our business on understanding customers and creating strong relationships with them.  And that same approach applies to our own people – all 66,000 of them.  Our size means we have the scope to offer practically unlimited opportunities in everything from Marketing and IT to Finance and Risk.  But, we’ll still take the time to get to know you as an individual and gain insights into your unique goals and aspirations.   That way, our managers can work with you to plan your progress and make the most of your skills and talents.  It’s an approach we believe works – and with growth like ours, it’s clear our confidence is well-deserved. 

From opportunities for flexible working to training that’s second-to-none, we can provide a work environment that’s both challenging and tailored to your needs.  With a business that’s expanding as quickly as ours, we need to make sure people are a focus of our progress and that they’re equipped to take us forward.   By offering plenty of choices combined with outstanding opportunities, we’ll be able to stay ahead of the competition.

How will I develop my career?
From your first day, you’ll be on an individually tailored career path. The first step will be helping you gain an in-depth understanding of your business area.  From there, we’ll create a development programme that will see you progress personally and professionally.  We’ll also offer you structured training supported by practical initiatives that could potentially span your entire career.  Our performance management policies will keep you on-track and regular updates and half yearly appraisals will all support your plans for progress.

Which benefits?
Rewards are important. That’s why we’re dedicated to ensuring that we do as much for you as you do for us.  For starters, you’ll enjoy a competitive salary, an annual incentive scheme, a pension, performance bonuses and share options.  You’ll also be able to buy discounted shares, and we’ll even award free shares on a discretionary basis.  And, if all that’s not enough, we’ll give you discounts on our products as well as a package of retail discounts on everything from childcare to mobile phones.  Naturally, we’ll also want you to enjoy a generous holiday entitlement.  To us, it’s about valuing people and helping them to find the best way of combining a career with a life outside work.
