Job description

We are recruiting for a Secretary to be based at our Swindon, London, or Glasgow office. This is a demanding and varied role supporting 3 Directors within the Chief Operating Office. If you have experience working within a similar role that will be beneficial, but it’s more important to be highly organised and able to work well under pressure, with attention to detail, and understand the responsibility of handling confidential information. You will also be part of a high performing team of Secretaries and therefore be able to build trusted relationships with your peers.

This role would suit a calm, motivated, disciplined and mature individual with confidence and a proactive nature who is particularly adept at prioritisation and communication.

Nationwide is committed to the redeployment of our employees impacted by change, as such applications for redeployment candidates will be prioritised in this recruitment process.

This is a 12-month fixed term contract opportunity.

At Nationwide we offer hybrid working wherever possible. More rewarding relationships are supported through our hybrid approach, bringing colleagues together across our UK wide estate, whilst also supporting generous access to home working. We value our time in the office to solve problems, to learn, and to feel connected.

For this job you'll spend at least two days per week, or if part time you'll spend 40% of your working time, based at either our Swindon, London or Glasgow office. If you’re based at our Glasgow office, this will apply from 1 April 2027 and ahead of that there will be a need to regularly connect with colleagues for collaboration events.If your application is successful, your hiring manager will provide further details on how this works.
