Before you apply

It’s important we assess you for the programme that really suits your talents. Please only make one application, and note that if you make more than one we’ll only accept your first.

Our people work differently depending on their jobs and needs. From hybrid working to flexible hours, we have plenty of options that help our people to thrive.

This role is based in the United Kingdom and as such all normal working days must be carried out in the United Kingdom.

Why Risk?

In Risk, our role is to make sure we're doing the right thing as an organisation - for our people and our customers. Risk management allows us to strike a balance between taking risks and reducing them.

It's our responsibility to manage risk across the bank, ensuring we have the right culture, strategy and rules in place. We also manage interactions with key regulators, providing trusted advice to the colleagues who are serving our customers.

Our world-class summer internship

Our Risk summer internship has been designed to give you a taste of what it’s like to work with us, along with valuable experience to help guide your career choices.

At the end of the placement, we’ll assess you on what you’ve learned. Complete this successfully and you could be offered a place on our Risk graduate programme, where you can carry the skills you’ve learnt forward and take the next step in your career. 

Over the course of this eight-week programme, you can look forward to:

  • Seeing first-hand how we work together as one-bank to deliver an outstanding service for our customers
  • Learning about our culture, values and goals
  • Attending training workshops and getting involved with our day-to-day work
  • Working with different risk teams to learn a competitive mix of practical knowledge and technical skills

  • Accelerating your report writing capability
  • Developing your qualitative and quantitative data analysis skills
  • Exploring your capability by taking part in a business improvement project
  • Developing your collaboration, creative-thinking and problem-solving skills

How you’ll benefit

We’ll reward you with a starting salary of £22,600 pro rata. If you join a team based in London, you’ll be awarded an additional allowance of £3,450 (pro-rata)

Plus, you can expect to:

  • Learn from industry experts and immediately apply your learnings
