SalaryAbout the role
We’re proud to announce we’re running our Summer Internship Programme again and new for this year is our Property team!. This is a great opportunity to gain some hands on, paid work experience and getting the chance to work with all parts of the property department ranging from our on-site facilities and Security operations teams, through to our estates and property operations teams. (The programme is only available to students in years 12 or 13 at college or 6th form)
In the programme at our Binley, Coventry campus, the internship will include:
- Getting a chance to visit our diverse range of properties and see how we maintain them and continue to meet the needs of our members.
- Understand how we are meeting our ESG challenges, with the transition of our estate from gas to all electric heating
- Working with and meeting a wide range of suppliers and stakeholders.
The Internship Programme will start on 26th July until the 30th August and during this time you’ll work full time Monday to Friday. This is a great opportunity to understand how we work and many of our interns have gone on to secure part time Saturday roles to fit around their study at the end of the programme.
How will you develop?
We want you to get the most out of your internship and will provide you with enough training so you have the knowledge and skills to succeed in your role. Your first week will involve you learning all about Coventry Building Society, our processes and how we work. You’ll then put your knowledge in to practice with the support of a buddy who will be on hand to answer any questions along the way. Your manager will also provide you with regular feedback and support to make sure you’re getting the most out of your programme.
About you
We’re looking for individuals who share our values and our passion for putting people first. If you like building relationships with new people and like learning new things, this could be the programme for you.
Ideally you'll have a passion for the property, security and / or the environment but you'll definitely need to have a positive, friendly attitude and excellent communication skills. We’re looking for people who have the confidence to engage with a diverse variety of people, who are customer focused and keen to learn and develop.
We want you to get the most out of the opportunity and as it’s only on for 6 weeks it’s important you don’t have any more than a couple of days holiday during this time, with none of this during the first couple of weeks as these are the key training days. The programme is only available to students studying for the first time in years 12 or 13 at college or 6th form.
Our values are:
- Caring – Helpful, Thoughtful, Kind
- Ambitious – Aspirational, Brave, Agile
- Responsible – Ethical, Reliable, Trusted
- Empowering – Inspiring, Enabling, Confident
- Straightforward – Simple, Easy, Clear
Please consider these values when answering your application questions.
The selection process will involve a review of your CV and application questions, online testing (TBA) and an interview with a couple of our friendly Managers
