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!

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 Flexible Working policy lets you have the opportunity to balance the needs of your family with those of the Society.
For expecting parents, we offer enhanced maternity pay, providing six months on full pay. We’ve also recently enhanced our paternity pay to 12 weeks on full pay, because we believe fathers should be fully supported to play an active role in those important early days.
We appreciate you may spend more time with us than with loved ones, so as a thank you we’ll take your family out for the day once a year on us. It’s our way of recognising the support they give you — which enables you to support us.
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.
As a local Building Society, our community plays a vital role in everything we do at Dudley Building Society. Our purpose is simple but powerful: to be there to help people live better lives. Giving something back is part of who we are, and we’re passionate about supporting the people and places around us wherever we can.
That’s why we actively get involved in local events, charities and fundraising activities. From donations to baby banks through to volunteering shifts at Russell’s Hall Hospital, there are plenty of opportunities for you to make a positive difference in ways that matter to you.
In addition to this, we proudly run an initiative ‘Dudley Prosper’ where we help people within the community to prosper, to build the skills, energy and confidence to take control of their lives and stay in control.
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.
