Our Insights Programme is a great opportunity to see what a career in finance might hold for you. You’ll split your time across two of our business areas getting a real-life insight into life as a Relationship Manager or a Business Analyst. You’ll work in:
- Our retail bank which helps customers take care of their day-to-day finances. We build and provide products and services that include current accounts, credit cards, personal loans, and mortgages, as well as savings and insurance.
- Our commercial bank which works with businesses to achieve their goals. We build, grow, and protect deep, trusted relationships as we partner with our clients to provide the financial solutions they need and connect them with experts across the bank.
These are exciting, customer-centric businesses which are focused on people and constantly evolving.
Who you are
You’re naturally curious, love solving problems, building connections, supporting others and want to make a real impact. You have an interest in exploring working with people – whether that’s individual customers, or businesses. You don’t need to be a business expert, what matters is you’re open minded, solutions focused and have a passion for customer service.
You could be a great fit if you’re
- A natural communicator: You express yourself clearly and enjoy helping others understand new concepts.
- A people person: You love getting to know people and building relationships.
- Proactive and solutions-orientated: You don’t wait to be told what to do. You spot problems early and bring forward ideas that add value.
- Team player: You enjoy working with others and you know success is always a team effort.
- Eager to learn: You’re curious about how things work and are excited by new tools, methods and perspectives.
- Self-aware: You understand how your actions and attitude affect others and want to grow both personally and professionally.
What you’ll do
Over four days, you’ll explore two potential career routes with us, as you put your skills to work in real-life situations. You’ll make connections, develop your confidence and begin to build your professional experience, positioning you well for a thriving career when you graduate.
Here’s an overview of what you can expect to get involved with
- Step inside the action: See how our teams build relationships with clients and customers, and how we support them with everything from cards, loans, mortgages through to sustainable financing and risk management.
- See collaboration in action: Discover how Relationship Managers partner with teams across the bank to help clients succeed.
- Explore real-world challenges: Learn how we think about customer, client, profitability and risk as we deliver solutions tailored to customer needs.
- Get hands on: Take part in interactive activities where you’ll analyse information, review business challenges and contribute to presentations, and start thinking like one of the team.
- Hear from those who’ve done it: Meet the people doing these jobs day-to-day – from graduates to senior leaders – and learn how they started and the skills they developed and use every day.
Do well and enjoy your time with us and you could secure a place on one of our internship programmes in Business Analysis or Relationship Management.
Additional information
Our insight programme offers candidates the opportunity to fast-track into our summer internship programme and in turn, our full-time graduate programme. Due to recent Home Office changes to visa eligibility, we do not anticipate that we will be able to offer sponsorship for full time, permanent positions for roles within this area of the business. As we have limited number of places we have on our insight programme, we are only able to consider those candidates who will not require onward sponsorship after graduation.
If you have circumstances that prevent you from affording travel to this event, please contact the team who will be able to review your case. This could be you are a young carer, are from a low-socio-economic background, or have experienced a recent unexpected financial challenge.
