Outstanding Employer
At Elysian Finance, we believe that we are only as good as the sum of our parts. This means that, for our business to be as successful as possible, our staff need to be happy, motivated and effective.
It is therefore incumbent upon the management team to ensure that working practices, environments and expectations facilitate a positive and supportive experience for all involved. We have sought to provide our staff with everything they need to succeed and flourish within the Pedder/Elysian Finance family. We do not rest on our laurels either - we are always reviewing and updating our approach in line with staff feedback.
Our people make us who we are. At Pedder, our staff don’t just work for the business, the business has to work for them too.
See what our colleagues say about working at Elysian Finance:
Phoebe Wight“"I joined Elysian Finance as a graduate in 2018, and from day one, I knew I had found a company where I could grow both professionally and personally. The atmosphere here is friendly, supportive, and genuinely fun – something that sets Elysian apart in the financial services industry.
I began my journey in the new build team, focusing primarily on Help to Buy mortgages. The team provided me with the training and autonomy I needed to develop confidence in my role early on. Over the years, I’ve had the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility, work with fantastic colleagues and grow within the business.
Thanks to the support, I’ve progressed through the company and am proud to hold the position of Associate Director.
For any graduate looking to start a career in finance, I can’t recommend Elysian highly enough"
Oscar Cornelius“I joined Elysian Finance through their 2024 graduate scheme, and from the outset, my experience has been exceptionally positive. The training provided was comprehensive and allowed me to develop the skills necessary to perform my role efficiently and to a high standard from an early stage.
The level of support within the office is particularly noteworthy due to the team’s extensive industry experience which has been invaluable in helping me build confidence and deepen my understanding.
Entering the job market as a graduate can be daunting, but Elysian Finance distinguished itself with a genuinely welcoming and supportive interview process. For anyone seeking a smooth transition from academic life to a professional career, I highly recommend Elysian Finance."
Oliver Cunningham“I joined the Elysian Finance team in November 2021 on the graduate scheme and have thoroughly enjoyed every minute of my time here. What first attracted me to working for Elysian Finance was the vision and objectives for both the company and I, there is a clear structure with an abundance of support in place to ensure that I can develop myself as both a professional and as an individual, such as the training and enrolment provided to complete the CeMAP qualification.
From the moment I first walked through the door to now, I have received such a warm, welcoming experience from every member of the team and have felt extremely valued as a new colleague and I’m extremely excited for the future at Elysian.”
