Are you prepared to take the Risk?
Risk management touches on every aspect of what an organisation does, and includes people with the most diverse backgrounds, skills and disciplines, who are knowledgeable and enthusiastic about what they do. If you have excellent relation-building and communication skills, are diplomatic and flexible, inquisitive and curious and welcome challenge and change, then look no further.
As a Risk & Compliance Graduate, you’ll support our strategy for the wider bank to become a future leader, taking on diverse challenges across three nine-month rotations. Alongside some of the most engaging colleagues in the business, you’ll work on projects that will make a meaningful difference to our colleagues, customers, and the communities we support.
You’ll be part of making our bank a leader in risk function, encouraged to put forward your ideas with no limit to where your career could take you.
Our culture believes in giving you room to grow and enabling you to be your best, so you can expect plenty of opportunities for training and development.
If you enjoy a challenging work environment where you can make a real impact in the world, our Risk & Compliance teams want to find out more about you.
Where you’ll work
Our Milton Keynes head office, is the centre of gravity for our business and since opening its doors earlier this year, contributes to make our new hybrid approach work for everyone.
Unity Place has been built with sustainability and employee experience in mind and will be a place where we can collaborate as a business. It will give our people the opportunity to make use of state-of-the-art facilities and come together with their teams from across the UK.
Our programme is based in Milton Keynes but could also include different parts of one of our business areas across London or Manchester, so some travel may be involved throughout the twenty-seven-month programme. You’ll have flexibility to work out of the office and at home (the current guidance is that we should be spending a minimum of 40% of our weekly time in the office).
