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. We will be supportive and flexible to your circumstances, so for roles that offer a hybrid option 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.
Good luck!
If you have a disability, long term health condition or additional need that requires accommodation or adjustments during any stage of the recruitment process, please advise us of this on your CV & a member of the team will be in touch to discuss!
