Wolverhampton City Credit Union – Temporary Credit Union Officer

1st Class Credit Union Chief Executive Officer

Can you make a 1st class difference?
Salary: up to £62,000
Location: Glasgow

1st Class Credit Union, formed in 1992, was originally set up to serve employees of The Royal Mail
Group in Glasgow and over the years we have expanded our membership-base covering the whole
of the UK and Northern Ireland. We are open to members whose workplace is represented by either
The Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) or The Communication Workers Union (CWU), and
their families.

We are a not-for-profit financial co-operative, owned and run by our members. We serve our
members by providing a safe and secure place to save their hard-earned money while providing
access to affordable loans.

Following the announcement of our inaugural CEO’s planned retirement later this year, we believe
that this is an outstanding opportunity to join one of the UK’s largest and highest performing credit
unions to lead our organisation in the next phase of our development.
Our loan portfolio is in a healthy state: during our financial year 19/20 we processed 7274 new loans
totalling £7.2million, bringing our loan portfolio to £13.5million; our capital is above the regulatory
requirements; and with our membership growing, you will be joining at an exciting time to shape
and develop our plans for the future.

You will work with the board to develop and implement our Business and Strategic plans and ensure
that our vision, mission and values are translated into delivery. We know the difference we make to
our members when they join our financial family, often at some of the most difficult, exciting or
significant times of their lives. More important than your specific industry background or career
journey, is your passion for making a difference to the lives of our members and our colleagues
every day, sharing our strong commitment to co-operative values and principles and making things
happen.

If you’re passionate about joining our organisation and developing your career in the credit union
movement, we’d love to hear from you. To have a confidential conversation please contact
