120 new jobs created in Bradford - graduate jobs

Graduates can expect more job opportunities in Bradford, West Yorkshire after one of the city's largest employers unveiled its plans to create 120 new posts as part of its ambitious expansion plans.

Yorkshire Building Society has announced vacancies at its headquarters. The mutual society currently has 1,500 employees in the city.

Among the new jobs, 60 will be with the society's mortgage subsidiary, Accord - including 15 employees who will deal with business resulting from the recent purchase of internet bank Egg.

Andy Caton, Yorkshire Building Society's corporate development director said: "It's a very exciting time for the Society and we feel very positive as we look to the future as a strong and stable business which is offering customers a real alternative to high street banks.

"We place high importance on the quality of our customer service and our recruitment of new staff reflects our continuing commitment to this priority and will help us as the business continues to grow."
