The application process consists of a short phone interview, followed by a practical written exercise and then on-site interviews at their office in London.

They care deeply about inclusive working practices and diverse teams. If you’d prefer to work part-time or as a job-share, we’ll facilitate this wherever they can – whether to help you meet other commitments or to help you strike a great work-life balance. They’re keen to ensure we’re designing a bank that works for everyone, so they particularly encourage applications from different underrepresented demographics.
