Application process.

We want you to show yourself at your best. Our application process lets you do that. We’re thorough, so there are a few stages involved. But they’re all designed to make sure that, from your first day on the job, you’re where you’re supposed to be.

Take a good look through the opportunities available, and decide what’s right for you. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, thinking about your career drivers can really help.

Once you’ve find the ideal job, click the apply button. This will take you to our Workday environment where you can upload your CV. If you have an account with us already then you can log in, but if you don’t you’ll need to create one.

After you’ve uploaded your CV we’ll ask you to fill out a few questions to make sure you meet our criteria. It’s simple and quick.

In some cases you’ll also answer a motivational questionnaire to explore the type of work you enjoy. This helps us make sure that job will be right for you, but there are no right answers, so it’s best to answer honestly.

Video assessment

For some jobs you’ll also complete a video interview by filming yourself answering questions. You can film yourself through your webcam, or by using a smartphone or tablet. We use a simple platform and we’ll guide you through the whole process, including giving you hints and tips on how to make a great video, and what to talk about in your answer.

Once you’ve passed any assessments at the last stage, we’ll look at your experience and your skills to see how well they match to the job. If we agree that you’re a good fit, we’ll invite you to an interview.

Every job at NatWest Group is assessed against the same personal qualities, chosen because we know we need them to succeed into the future.
