Working at the Tipton

As a smaller mutual building society, our colleagues are working in a friendly and professional environment where their paths cross daily with senior team members. This enables the sharing of thoughts and recommendations and supports collaborative working where colleague’s views are respected and considered.

Our head office is based in the centre of Tipton, with local amenities including a local park and canal suitable for lunch time walks and a local train station connecting to nearby city centres including Wolverhampton and Birmingham.

We are committed to supporting our local community and colleagues have an opportunity to volunteer to support various local good causes.  Each year we identify a colleague nominated charity and organise a variety of fun events to raise funds and awareness in support of these.

The Society has a Charitable Foundation which makes regular donations to local organisations such as schools, community groups and charities. We also support fundraising for the Midlands Air Ambulance through our Midlands Air Ambulance Saver account, where at the end of each year we make a donation to the charity based on the balances held in these accounts, at no cost to our members.

We are firmly committed to creating and maintaining a diverse and inclusive workplace in which all colleagues are valued, respected, safe, supported, and listened to without judgement or prejudice. We celebrate difference and encourage everyone to join us and be themselves at work.
