It starts here. With Bendigo Bank… and you.

This is a permanent, full-time opportunity, located at any of our Head Office locations. 

We offer flexible work options that put our people first, working in a hybrid model with a minimum local Head Office attendance requirement determined by your Leader, to find a rhythm that works best for you and your team. We believe that coming into the office some of the time is the best way to learn, stay connected and collaborate effectively, especially for key activities like team days, 1:1s, and town halls. 

We believe a diverse workforce supported by an inclusive culture is central to our success and we actively encourage applications from those who bring diversity of thought to our business. We support candidate requests for adjustment to accommodate an illness, injury, or disability to equitably participate in the selection process. 

Please note, all internal candidates are required to notify their immediate leader when applying for a new career opportunity and you will be asked to acknowledge they have done so upon submission of your application. 

If you're already part of Bendigo Bank (including Community Banks), you'll need to apply through People Hub to submit a valid application. We’re keen to support you with the next step in your career. 

 
Still in two minds? 

Research suggests 60% of women and underrepresented groups might stop here, even after getting as far as drafting an application. We believe that diversity makes every team stronger, so even if you don’t tick every box we still want to see your application! 

Please note shortlisting and interviews may take place prior to the advertised close date, so don't delay apply now!
