Getting qualified. It's a huge achievement that can completely change your prospects – but it’s not always open to everyone, whether that's due to the cost of university or the timing not being right. But with our apprenticeships, all that can change. Here at Barclays we offer a world-class programme that provides you with a permanent, full-time job with a competitive salary from day one - all whilst gaining a professional qualification at the same time. Whether you're a school-leaver looking for alternative options to the traditional university route or you're someone thinking differently about your future, we'll help you to build an extraordinary career at Barclays, no matter your background.

Our programme is designed for school leavers and career changers, but is open to anyone, no matter your background or your age. If you already have a degree, make sure you visit https://search.jobs.barclays/graduates and consider our graduate opportunities.

Why a Barclays Apprenticeship?

You’ll get the opportunity to earn whilst working towards a Compliance and Risk Officer Apprenticeship, a perfect blend of theoretical learning and real-life practical work whilst on a full-time salary in a permanent job. A unique chance to get a professional qualification without the student loan, all whilst getting years of work experience under your belt. Due to the evolving nature of Apprenticeships, a new Apprenticeship might become available and if deemed more relevant to your role, we'll change the Apprenticeship before you start.

We’ve spent over a decade perfecting the support that you’ll receive on our Apprenticeship programme. From day one, you’ll be assigned a Programme Support Manager matched to your needs and background, and together with your People Leader, they’ll support you as an individual. We’ll also match you to an expert in your specialist subject, ready to share their knowledge.

The Apprenticeship route gives you the opportunity for self-discovery and helps you to explore different career paths.

Beyond that though, we’re also looking for commitment and enthusiasm. Our Apprenticeships place deep investment in you as an individual. That means we need you to match that commitment: you’ll turn up every day ready to work hard, push yourself, and think differently about what you’re capable of.
