Do you love creating engaging and user-friendly interfaces? Are you passionate about making technology accessible to everyone?

If so, then we want you on our team! We’re looking for a talented and passionate Senior UI Designer and Engineer to join our growing Digital team.

Who Are We?

Not just another building society. Not just another job.

We’re the fourth biggest building society in the UK and what makes us a bit different is that we’re a mutual organisation. We don’t have shareholders; we’re owned by our members.

Our colleagues say Skipton’s a great place to work, and you could be one of them, bringing with you new ideas on how we can keep customers at the heart of what we do.

Whatever your background, and whatever your goals, we’ll help you take the next step towards a better future.

Join a powerhouse team of UI/UX designers and engineers! We collaborate daily with UX Designers, our Engineering Team, and wider stakeholders to craft user-centric experiences across web and mobile. You’ll iterate solutions with creative minds, then bring those ideas to life in user-friendly, inclusive interfaces. Get ready to solve problems and make a real difference!

What Do We Need From You?

  • Key to this role is a real customer focus and desire to deliver engaging and inclusive customer experiences online. An eye for detail and being flexible in your approach is also key for success as your role will be varied, as you may work on several pieces of work at once.
