Your Development

We are proud to be an employer that has a strong history of developing our people. Whatever your role, your personal development plan will support you to progress in your career with Leek Building Society.

To continue the successful growth of the Society we provide staff with support to enhance their own future and develop their career path.

Induction

We believe that the induction, training and support you receive at the start of your career with us, sets you up for the future. We tailor the first 12 weeks in your new role to give you a warm welcome along with the training and support you require for your role.

You’ll also have a dedicated mentor from your team so that you have a ‘go to’ person for support.

Ongoing Development

Your ongoing personal development is an important factor during your career at Leek Building Society. You will be encouraged to take responsibility for your own development whilst having support from us along the way.

There will be opportunities for you to take on more responsibility and participate in projects and initiatives across the Society to develop your experience.

Leadership Development

We deliver an in-house Leadership Programme for our managers to support them to perform at their best.

We have an Aspiring Leader Programme for a small group of staff looking to take the ‘next step’ in their career. Our programme has been recognised by the Chartered Management Institute, which means that our Aspiring Leaders receive high quality learning, with external recognition. They also have mentoring from senior leaders through the programme to fast track their development.

“Our people are our biggest asset. We want them to perform at their best, and so we are deeply committed to providing learning experiences to help them grow with us.”
