• Get to know our members and support them in finding the right products and services that can provide Real Help With Real Life - whether that’s saving for a gap year trip, buying a first home, or anything in between.

Here at YBS no two branches are the same, they each have their own characteristics and qualities that makes working there so special. Here is what the hiring manager had to say about Huddersfield Branch.

“Our branch is in the centre of Huddersfield, transport into Huddersfield is great with bus and train links alongside a close proximity to the M62 motorway. For those who wish to drive there are car parks within a 5 minute walk to the branch and cost around £4 for the day.

Huddersfield is a branch like no other, not just because it’s one of the largest branches in the network but it’s an amazing place to work. It’s a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same alongside a team that have a willingness to go that extra step to make it successful. It provides a great opportunity for any individual to learn great skills and have a platform to grow. We are a large team of colleagues, 22 in total, made up of a Branch Manager, 2 Assistant Branch Managers and 19 Customer consultants. We have a real mixture of colleague experience ranging from 20 years plus to just a couple of months all with the right level of knowledge and capability to deal with our large customer base.”
