The Branch Manager will lead a team of customer facing colleagues, promoting high standards of customer service, making sure that they deliver an exceptional experience to all customers. We are looking for an individual who can really inspire a team, engaging them and creating a real culture of high performance and involvement in the local community.
Working closely with the Regional Manager, the successful candidate will develop a branch business plan that contributes to Skipton's wider corporate plan, setting objectives for performance and maximising business opportunities in the area, and communicating this to the team so that they understand their own individual contribution to the branch's performance.

This is a key role that calls for exceptional people skills and proven leadership experience, and in return we'll provide you with the development opportunities you need to make a real difference to your team and our customers.
