The Data Protection Act 2018 and the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) gives individuals certain rights and defines the rules for processing personal information. It also states that those who record and process personal information, such as the Society, must be open and honest in how the information is used.
The principal purpose of collecting personal data from you is to enable you to apply for employment with the Society. When you submit your application, we ask for your contact details, CV and other selected information so that we can deal with your application.
If your application is not successful, we will keep your personal data for a maximum of 1 year from the date of application, after then it will be deleted/destroyed.
If you believe the Society has not complied with your data protection rights, you can complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office which enforces data protection laws. Their website is www.ico.org.uk.
As an equal opportunities employer, we’re committed to creating an environment where there is mutual respect and equality of opportunity for all colleagues.
Apply
If you are interested in applying you will be asked to submit your CV and covering letter to let us know about your previous experience. We’ll send you an acknowledgment to let you know that we’ve received your application.
Review
We’ll review your application against the skills and experience we are looking for in our successful candidate and let you know if your application is going to be progressed. If successful, we’ll be in touch to arrange the next stage.
Interview
For most vacancies, you’ll be invited to an initial interview which may be held over the telephone. During this interview you will be able to learn more about the role for which you have applied as well as giving the interviewer a chance to get to know more about you, your experience and what you are looking for in your next role.
If successful at this stage, you’ll be invited to attend a face to face interview with the recruiting manager, which will normally be held at our eco-build offices in Silsden, West Yorkshire. You’ll be asked to complete an application form and return it to us before your interview. There may also be some aptitude tests to complete relevant to the role you have applied for.
Feedback
We’ll usually let you know the outcome of your interview within a week of the last interview taking place. Your interviewer will give you an indication of when this will be. If you are successful, we will discuss the next steps with you and start preparing for you to join us. If you aren’t successful, we’ll let you know and we’ll provide feedback so you’ll know why.
Our Online Account Service Terms and Conditions can be found at the bottom of the welcome page or homepage.
We appreciate that many online users would prefer not to receive transaction notices in the post. Not all of our members have access to the internet and many of these members, as well as some online users, prefer to receive paper notifications. Unfortunately, our system currently doesn’t allow us to suspend paper notifications for some members but not others. In future we aim to offer this option and we will keep you informed of any changes to our service.
You cannot make a one-off payment into your Ecology account via the online service. To credit funds to your account, transfer funds to our bank account.
To credit a savings account: sort code 08-90-72; account number 70361591; quote your savings account number as the reference.
To credit a mortgage account: sort code 08-90-72; account number 70016309; quote your mortgage account number as the reference.
Please check the terms and conditions of your account for details of any charges or loss of interest that might apply should you make an over-payment.
Transferring money from a Co-operative Bank account?
The above details are for a collection account that we hold with the Co-operative Bank. Please note, if you hold an account with the Co-operative Bank and are using their online facility to transfer funds into your Ecology account, you will need to use the Co-operative’s ‘bill payment‘ function. This is because it will allow you to quote a reference when making your transfer; without a reference, we may be unable to pay the money into your Ecology account.
You can request the closure of your account via the online service. Just log in to the service, then click on ‘Details’, choose option ‘Account closure’ and follow the instructions.
