This is an opportunity to join a fast paced, dedicated team who deal with the day to day reconciliations of the Society’s financial transactions. Your responsibilities will include managing the balancing and exception handling for a suite of accounts, as well as challenging the efficiency and effectiveness of processes.
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, based at either our Swindon or Bournemouth office. 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.
You’ll be responsible for managing your account workload including daily balancing, exception handling and query management. You’ll also be trained to provide cover across your squad.
You’ll be encouraged to suggest process improvements and engage with stakeholders to implement change.
You’ll work closely with the Financial Reconciliations management team to drive us towards becoming more effective and efficient, as we strive towards our ‘Reconciliations of the Future’ vision.
We expect you to have skills in the following:
* Have financial reconciliations experience.
* Have a basic understanding of accounting.
* Have proven problem solving skills.
* Be confident in your decisions, take ownership, have good attention to detail, and be open and approachable.
* Have strong Excel skills.
* Be quick to learn new processes and adaptable to changing priorities.
Our customer first behaviours put customers and members at the heart of how we work together. They are the set of behaviours that every colleague needs to display, in every role:
* Feel what customers feel - We step into our customers’ shoes, using their feedback and insights to empathise with them and to understand their needs, so that every decision we make starts and finishes with our customers in mind.
* Say it straight - We are brave in speaking out and saying what we think – we’re honest and direct with good intent, openly sharing diverse perspectives to reach the best conclusions and using language everyone can understand.
* Push for better - We don’t settle for mediocrity, we challenge the status quo, taking responsibility for continuous improvement and personal development.
* Get it done - We prioritise what will have the greatest impact, we are decisive, and we take accountability for delivering brilliant customer outcomes.
You can strengthen your application by showing how our customer first behaviours resonate with you, and where you may have already demonstrated these.
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.

We forge our own path at Nationwide.
As a mutual, we’re owned by our members - those customers who bank, save or have a mortgage with us. We challenge the financial sector status quo. We don’t see customers as the engine of our own profit. We share our profits with them and put their needs first. Always there when they need us. Supporting them and their lives.
If you’re inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about our customers, you’re one of us.
At Nationwide, you are challenged to grow and rewarded for doing so. Valued. Recognised. Inspired to be your best. As a community we want our working lives to count. As a team, we celebrate what we achieve. As a standard-setter, we work for the good of customers, communities, and broader society.
We are Purpose-driven. Uncompromisingly Customer. Unstoppably Nationwide.
