You can strengthen your application by showing the behaviours that resonate with you, and how you might have already demonstrated these. Say it straight
- This is about being honest and direct with good intent and saying what needs to be said in the room. It’s also about being clear, precise, and using language that we and, importantly, our customers and members can understand. Push for better
- This is about aiming high and constantly looking for better in how we work together and serve our customers and members. Get it done
- This is about prioritising what will have the greatest impact, being decisive and taking accountability for delivering on the end-to-end outcome. The extras you’ll get

Nationwide is the world’s largest building society. With over 15 million customers, we have a relationship with almost a quarter of the UK’s population. We’ve got the scale to compete with the big banks, but we’re not a bank. As a building society, we’re owned by our members – that’s our customers who have their current account, mortgage or savings with us. It means we can do things differently to deliver our Purpose – Banking – but fairer, more rewarding, and for the good of society.
