Work / Life Balance

We believe that the ability to balance work and non-work commitments is key to attracting and retaining motivated and highly skilled people. In support of this belief we offer a variety of flexible working options such as part-time working, job sharing, compressed working hours, term time working, home-working and short and long term employment breaks. These arrangements can be used to meet the needs of our dynamic business and the diverse needs of our workforce.

The right to request flexible working options extends to all our staff and they can easily access all the policies and applications procedures online. Increasing numbers of people are now taking advantage of our flexible arrangements, enjoying a great balance between their work and home lives.

Social Events

Outside of the office there are a wealth of activities organised by the Ulster Bank Group Sports & Social Clubs, offering many varied activities covering; golf, badminton, indoor bowling, angling, and dinners and dancing events.

Help Direct

We provide a free confidential advice service to all our people covering areas such as childcare, relationships, legal matters, eldercare, work and stress. Support is provided via telephone and written materials and even access to short term counselling - available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The bank is committed to providing its people with a safe and secure working environment and this is detailed in the Staysafe booklet sent to all new joiners.
