Relationship Management Industrial Placement
As part of the Intermediary Relationships Industrial Placement, you’ll develop the knowledge, skills and behaviours to inform your career choices and contribute to the development and improvement of Nationwide’s processes, products and services in your department.
Brokers provide 85% of the Society's mortgages, and are therefore critical to our success. Over the course of 12 months, you’ll build your understanding of the mortgage market and process, with particular focus on the intermediary market.
We’ll need you to build rewarding relationships across the organisation and externally to understand customer needs, resolve problems and support the delivery of the Society blueprint.
You’ll also attend development workshops and complete a project with other Industrial Placements aligned to our Social Impact strategy. Our Industrial Placements provide a direct pathway to our graduate development programmes post-University.
Our Mortgages and Financial Wellbeing function has approximately 3,000 colleagues working towards our mission to provide the best mortgage service in the UK. When joining the Intermediary Relationships Industrial Placement, you’ll specifically operate across our Intermediary Relationships teams which consist of Broker Support and Business Development Managers that support both Residential & Buy-to-let Mortgages.
Location
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, based at our Bournemouth office.
What you’ll be doing
On the Intermediary Relationships Industrial Placement, you’ll develop over a 12-month period gaining the knowledge, skills and network our Mortgages & Financial Wellbeing function requires and provide you with experiences to inform your future career choices.
The Industrial Placement journey will focus on developing an understanding of all aspects of the mortgage market, with a particular focus on the intermediary market.
You’ll gain access to a bespoke 12-month project aligned to our Social Impact strategy to develop core business skills, providing opportunities to learn new skills and apply them in a different context to your day job. You’ll build a community and work alongside a range of diverse like-minded Industrial Placements from across the organisation.
