How we work 

Our belief is that we are “Better when Together” and want to balance the benefits of teaming up in person with flexible working where possible.  This is a 35 hour per week role, but flexibility and some travel may be required depending on business needs.

We work in a hybrid environment and we ask colleagues to attend their base location a minimum of 3 days a week so they can connect, collaborate and learn together. The other 2 days can be worked either from home or another bank location.  Some of our roles are customer facing which means that it’s really important to be able to work with customers face to face and hybrid working isn’t appropriate. 

If this sounds good to you, we’d love to hear from you.  Apply by uploading your CV ensuring you have included enough detail to clearly demonstrate how you meet our criteria.
