Kieran, Credit Risk Analyst, joined 2023

I’ve been with MBS since February 2023; and having worked in Financial Services for a number of years – I can safely say I have never felt so supported from day 1 (and that goes from top down, bottom up and sideways across too!).

I find the benefits offered by the Society (from the hybrid working, the cash plan, and Perks) are things that really do make a difference to my day-to-day life.

But it goes deeper then this for me; and is truly lived and embedded in the culture. As someone that is a neurodiverse and disabled colleague with additional caring support to my family – these are things that can and do impact my day.

It is the engagement and passion everyone has here for making MBS what it is that allows me to be my authentic self in the workplace. I have trust and confidence in my colleagues for our shared goals and their valued contributions make it a joy to be at work. To end on this – all of the above really does makes MBS the great place to work that it is – day in day out!

Katie, Mortgage Processor, joined 19 years ago

I have worked for the Society for 19 years and can honestly say I have enjoyed every one of those 19 years.

The reason I have stayed working for the Society for 19 years is because of the culture. It’s the bigger picture, helping the community with volunteering days, supporting charities with fund raising and donations, supporting our customers through tough times, especially during Covid, and the fact the Society cares about its colleagues, offering training, support, developing staff and giving us the tools, we need to succeed.

The main reason I have stayed with the Society for so long are the new friendships I have made, working with people that I don’t call colleagues but now call friends and also the support the Society offers to staff not just on a work level but on a personal level too.

I cant imagine myself working anywhere else and honestly don’t want to either.

Sian, People Business Partner, joined 2020

It’s the culture that really stood out for me from day 1. From the moment I joined MBS I was made to feel welcome, everybody is so friendly and willing to help each other. There is a lot of commitment to make it a great place to work including engagement activities, colleague benefits and recognition.

Something that’s important to me is having an employer who supports my development and future career aspirations and I have been fortunate enough to be able to study a masters degree in Strategic Leadership with the support of Mansfield Building Society.
