Santander

It’s time.

It’s time to bring all the things you do best to one of the world’s biggest banks. A bank with over 90 million customers globally and more branches than any other international bank. It’s time to stretch your potential and learn from industry experts. It’s time to take on real responsibility and to make business-critical decisions. It’s time to be part of a fast-paced team and to move as quickly as your skills take you. It’s time to join Santander.

Training and Profiles

At Santander we’re all about opportunity. A relatively new name in the UK banking market, we’ve already made our mark, being named ‘Best UK Bank’ by Euromoney for the third year running and ‘Best UK Bank’ by The Banker for the second successive year in 2010. And as one of the most stable and secure names in UK banking and global footprint that dates back 150 years, we’ve got the foundation and experience to make an even bigger impression.

But what does that mean for you as a graduate? Well for starters in means we're in the position to be talking about growth, to look forward and not backwards. To think bigger and not smaller. That means as a graduate we can provide more opportunities to develop your skills, take the next steps and achieve everything you want to achieve.

Our 2012 graduate programmes are almost full but have a few places left on the following:

> Retail
> Operations
> Banking Operations Support
> Telephone Sales / Contact Centre
