Risk Graduate Programme
Our goal 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.

Is our Risk Graduate Programme for you?
There are two routes you can choose to take on our Risk Graduate Programme. If you’re the sort of person who likes the sound of assessing risks and data and advising stakeholders on the results, all while developing your quantitative and qualitative skills then our risk programme could be for you.
Our risk modelling programme is more suited if you like to apply your coding and modelling skills to understand and analyse patterns across our customer lifecycle, and want to learn more about new technology developments, emerging regulation and new strategic risks.
What you can expect from the programme
- An understanding of how to identify, analyse and report on risk, and the opportunity to shape our policies on how much risk we wish to take
- The chance to drive change and innovation projects, building your business partnering and stakeholder management skills
- The opportunity to work towards a professional qualification
Where can our Risk Graduate Programme take you?

Take your career anywhere
Whichever path you take, our two-year programme will provide you with the skills and experience you'll need to become a leading risk professional. Previous graduates have gone on to become Risk Partners, Conduct Advisors, Operational Risk Managers, or Credit Risk Analysts as a few examples.

We recognise that everyone’s an individual, so we’ll make sure your learning journey’s bespoke to you. You’ll build your business knowledge and personal effectiveness skills, whilst also growing vital future skills such as digital literacy, agile methodologies and creative thinking.

From day one, you'll have a wide network of dedicated people to support you, including a graduate coach or professional mentor, a buddy, and a placement manager. You will also join an induction to introduce you to the business and connect with other graduates.
