Finance - Referral
We’re always looking for talented people to join us in our Finance team, and now you can be rewarded for helping us find them.
If you refer someone who successfully joins Co-op Finance and passes their probation, you’ll receive a £500 cash reward.
How it works
It’s simple:
- Fill out the referral form.
- We’ll contact your referral and send them a link to apply.
- If they’re hired and pass probation, you’ll receive £500.
Who can make a referral?
This scheme is open to all Co-op colleagues.
Which roles are included?
The following roles are currently eligible for referral:
- Senior Finance Business Partner

If you know someone who’d be a great fit but there isn’t a suitable role available right now, you can still submit a referral—we’ll keep their details and get in touch when the right opportunity comes up.
Important to know
