About the company:

Healthy economies need strong banks to drive economic and social progress. Barclays’ Shared Growth Ambition is simple. When our customers and clients thrive, so do we. When the communities we work in thrive, so do we. Interns and graduates here have the opportunity to contribute something vital. Something momentous.

With home markets in the UK and US, Barclays is a transatlantic consumer, corporate and investment bank offering products and services across personal, corporate and investment banking, credit cards and wealth management.

With over 325 years of expertise in banking, Barclays operates in over 40 countries, employing around 85,000 people to help move, lend, invest and protect money for customers and clients worldwide.

About the role:

It’s an important time in your development and in our transformation. On this nine-week programme, you’ll support leaders across our organisation in achieving Barclays’ strategy. At the same time, you’ll find that those senior leaders are deeply invested in your career development, always sparing time and effort to help you build on your experience. In this thriving environment, you’ll take on new opportunities, challenge yourself, and help drive our change and transformation agenda. With a high degree of responsibility and ownership, you’ll find out what it takes to deliver and support strategy across a global business.

Over just one summer, you’ll be surprised by the progress you make on our programme. As well as taking on your own live projects – with all the responsibility and ownership that entails – you’ll also benefit from structured training. Our opportunities are designed specifically to aid your development, ranging from work shadowing and networking to technical training and senior leader sessions. You’ll learn from subject matter experts, supported by current graduates and graduate alumni. Through your Line Manager, buddy and mentor, you’ll use feedback and personal coaching to constantly improve your performance.

You’ll also get involved in the broader activities of the HR function, learning how we enable ourselves to deliver priorities, develop ourselves as HR professionals, and recognise our achievements together. Join us and discover how we develop and recognise the brightest talent, how we connect and energise the HR function, and how we deliver strategy to instil excellence across our organisation.

Requirements:

At Barclays, we look for commercially minded problem solvers and passionate relationship builders. You can come from any degree discipline if you’ve got the curiosity and the analytical skill we need.

In HR there are certain qualities we all have in common. Team-working is one, and the drive for self-improvement is another. We make sound judgements because we question and challenge our approach every day. We maintain the highest standards in risk management and we look for the same in our graduates. So if that’s you, a self-starter who understands our values and our culture – we can help you thrive.

We are looking for interns who share our passion for citizenship and want to help Barclays give back to the community. There are many opportunities and initiatives that allow you to work with other like-minded individuals to use your energy and skills to help others.
