Annual Salary: £ 22,250 + benefits

Getting qualified. It's a huge achievement that can completely change your prospects – but it’s not always open to everyone, whether that's due to the cost of university or the timing not being right. But with our Higher Apprenticeship, all that can change. Here at Barclays we offer a world-class programme that provides you with a permanent, full-time job with a competitive salary from day one - all whilst gaining a professional qualification at the same time. Whether you're a school-leaver looking for alternative options to the traditional university route or you're someone thinking differently about your future, we'll help you to build an extraordinary career at Barclays, no matter your background.

Why a Barclays Apprenticeship?

You’ll get the opportunity to earn while you learn, a perfect blend of theoretical learning and real-life practical work whilst on a full-time salary in a permanent job. A unique chance to get a professional qualification without the student loan, all whilst getting years of work experience under your belt.

We’ve spent 11 years perfecting the support that you’ll receive on our Apprenticeship programme. That starts with our market-leading Talent Coach model: from day one, you’ll be assigned a talent coach matched to your needs and background, and together with your line manager, they’ll support you as an individual. We’ll also match you to an expert in your specialist subject, ready to share their knowledge.

The Apprenticeship route gives you the opportunity for self-discovery and helps you to explore different career paths. With over 325 years of expertise in Banking, Barclays operates in over 40 countries, employing over 80,000 people to help move, lend, invest and protect money for customers and clients worldwide. Giving you endless opportunities to network and discover what makes you tick.

Our programme is open to anyone, no matter your background or your age. So you’ll be joining an Apprenticeship cohort who are from all different walks of life , whether that’s school leavers starting their career, ex-military wanting to kick-start a career in the corporate world to parents wanting to return to work after having time off.

Risk at Barclays

Risk is part of every single transaction, every product, every service and every decision that Barclays makes or delivers. We work hard to adapt to the changing financial landscape, technology and the needs of our customers and business, and that makes risk an exciting, complex and varied place to build a career. You’ll join one of the areas within Risk, including credit, operational and treasury, gaining deep knowledge of your area and its importance to our risk function.

Are you eligible?

First, you’ll need the right qualifications. For the Risk Apprenticeship programme you’ll need 5 GCSEs inc luding Maths and English Grade C or 4 .

Beyond that though, we’re also looking for commitment and enthusiasm. Our Apprenticeships place deep investment in you as an individual. That means we need you to match that commitment: you’ll turn up every day ready to work hard, push yourself, and think differently about what you’re capable of. You’ll have the backing of a global bank, and you’ll rise to that expectation.

Barclays will require applicants for this position to have legal right to work in the UK
