Help us protect our 30 million customers across the UK

Protecting our customers has never been more important. We support people right across the UK, from individuals and small businesses through to large corporates, including many FTSE 100 companies.

This scheme offers broad experience and will lay the foundations for a thriving career that could take you in any number of directions. Sound exciting?

What you'll learn on the Risk graduate scheme

Over two years, you’ll complete multiple placements, each focusing on a different aspect of our work.

You could be learning how we analyse and assess risk to forecast future performance, or familiarising yourself with the frameworks that ensure we meet our regulatory requirements. Some Risk teams get hands-on with sophisticated data modelling techniques that help us tease out the value in information. While others help design and launch new products, including new payment technologies or new current accounts, with a focus on customer experience.
