We are looking for a COBOL developer to work on our transition from Fujitsu mainframe to a new Microsoft Windows solution. Offering an exciting and flexible role, with career development. You’ll have contracted hours, but we are always happy to support flexible working wherever we can. That might mean working from home or different Nationwide offices or agreeing a working pattern to help you balance work and life. You will enjoy an excellent benefits package, a competitive salary and a permanent, full-time, and flexible 35 hour a week contract, with clear pathways to further development and promotion.
We want you to nurture and value proactive habits and to develop contacts and relationships, so things are done faster and more efficiently. We will expect you to get stuck in and have a go, and we will provide any support needed to learn new things in new areas.
In Mortgages and Financial Wellbeing we are modernising our system of record. You will be at the frontline, developing and supporting the transition to our new system of record which will underpin our mortgages. During the modernisation you will be working with the project team to support this delivery and benefit from the many development opportunities this work will offer.
At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.
For this job you'll be located at our nearest regional office. There will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events in one of our office sites. This is anticipated to be in our Swindon office once a month. If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.

Unlike the banks we are owned by our members, not shareholders. That’s anyone who banks, saves or has a mortgage with us. Which means we can always focus on what’s best for them. It’s our fundamental difference and what makes us a good way to bank.
