Working at Dudley Building Society
Health

We know you can’t put a price on your health, but it helps, particularly when it comes to optical care, dental and chiropody. That’s why you will have access to a health Cash Plan to claim back your day-to-day healthcare needs. 

If that’s not enough, all employees will also receive full private medical insurance through Bupa, for you and your direct family - as well as a GP service when you can’t get to see your own. In addition, you will have access to BUPA Rewards – where you’ll find a range of special money saving offers, from discounts on meals out, days out, cheap cinema tickets to offers on high street retailers and much more!

Wellbeing

We take your wellbeing very seriously. Over the last 12 months in particular we have invested considerably in supporting our people in all areas of their life. We have a number of qualified Mental Health First Aiders across the Society who are always on hand to listen and support.

Whether it's providing mindfulness classes, tea and talk sessions with a counsellor or offering visits to our Physiotherapist, we tend to go the extra mile. We have offered everyone the chance to learn a new skill, which has been a great addition to the development of our teams. With everything from Crystal Healing Diplomas and cross stitch accreditations, to learning a new language, right through to Psychology diplomas. The possibilities are endless!

Holiday

From time to time, we all have events in our life which will require time away from work. In addition to your 30 days holiday (plus bank holidays), we offer additional days if you move house, get married or welcome a new grandchild to your family. In addition, we want you to celebrate your birthday however you like – so we give you an extra day off work to celebrate!

In addition to these moments which matter in your personal life, we also want you to celebrate your time with us. With our long service awards, you are rewarded for every 5 years you spend with us. With gifts and treats as a given, you’ll also have an additional day off to celebrate how you wish!

Financial

As a financial service institution, we always think now is a good time to plan ahead. Alongside our generous, flexible pension plan, we give all employees time with an Independent Financial Adviser to review your pension arrangements, to make sure you’re planning for your future. You can also add a little to your savings account every month straight from your salary, to stop temptation getting in your way!

In the event something happens to you, we want to make sure your family are covered. That’s why should the worst happen, we provide life assurance for four times your annual salary, to leave to your loved ones.

Family

If you ask our employees what word they would use to describe Dudley Building Society, they say "family" (we know, we asked them!). This means we know how important yours is. Our Flex Appeal policy across the business lets you have the opportunity to balance the needs of your family with those of the Society. In addition, for expecting mothers you can be reassured that we offer enhanced maternity pay providing you with six months full pay.

We appreciate you may spend more time with us rather than with your family, so to say thank you we’ll take your family out for the day once a year, as well as run regular colouring and writing competitions throughout the year to keep in touch with our budding young members. We understand that they support you, for you to support us. 

Your Future

We are passionate about our people and investing in their future is something we think is really important. Over the last few years, our internal talent programmes have enabled our people to be promoted into both Managerial and Executive level roles, equipping them with skills they need now and in the future. 

As a small Society, you can expect to find unique opportunities in learning new skills and gaining valuable knowledge, should you want exposure to a broad range of activities. Whether that’s being part of a project team, being mentored by one of our senior leaders or attending various committees to build your knowledge, the opportunities are there for the taking. 

Strong performance is recognised through our reward and recognition programme ‘Dudley’s Best’, where we all celebrate your great achievements and ongoing passions. 

Your Community

Being a local Building Society, our community is a great influence over all we do here at Dudley. We want to give back to our community and ensure we can support them where possible. That’s why we are always on the look out for local events and fundraisers for us to get involved with. With baby bank donations through to volunteer shifts at Russell’s Hall Hospital, there will be something for you.

In addition to this, we donate £30,000 to black country-based charities and organisations as an annual community support fund. This is split across nine charities and organisations that focus on financial resilience, business support and housing support. We really care about making a difference to people’s lives.

Additional Benefits

We offer a Cycle to Work scheme. You could make savings on the cost of a bike and spread the cost over 12 months, with our salary sacrifice scheme.

We also offer an Electric Vehicle Car scheme – which allows our employees to purchase a brand new electric car through our salary sacrifice scheme.

As a growing society we are regularly recruiting. Our vacancies are advertised internally before we approach the external market. We therefore offer a £250 referral bonus to any existing employee that recommends someone who is subsequently successful. You receive the £250 bonus when the new starter passes their probationary period.
