As the largest building society in the world, here at Nationwide we’re owned by our customers rather than shareholders. Which makes us even more dedicated to helping them protect and manage the most important things in their lives by providing top quality products that range from life and illness protection to pensions, mortgages and ISAs.

This ethical approach also shines through when you look at the £8 million we invest every year in all kinds of charity, community and environmental projects. Supporting no less than 300 good causes, we’re involved in everything from promoting child road safety by giving every primary school pupil a reflector, to helping aspiring champions on the road, to the Paralympics. We also sponsor the Nationwide Foundation which supports families and helps fight social exclusion and the Nationwide Awards for Voluntary Endeavour, which recognise the efforts of the unsung heroes who carry out voluntary work in communities up and down the country.

But although we like to put our customers first, it certainly doesn’t mean we’ll put you second. As one of the Sunday Times Top Ten Best Big Companies to work for we believe that if we look after our people, they’ll naturally go the extra mile for our customers.

Our Head Office in Swindon is jam-packed with great facilities which include free car parking, an on-site gym, hair salon, tennis courts, subsidised canteen and Starbucks – not to mention the hundreds of friendly and talented people who work here. And our culture has a big part to play too – with training and rewards to ensure you’re happy and fulfilled at work, and a guarantee not only to value your contribution but to treat you with trust and respect at all times.
