Who we look for

There are no two ways about it. We have immensely high expectations of everyone who makes it onto the FLDP; and we’re looking for people who can bear the weight of those expectations. In other words, you’ll need ambition and vision every bit as big as ours from the outset.

It perhaps goes without saying that your academic record will be of the highest order (a 2:1 or above and 300 UCAS points to be precise), but becoming one of our future leaders is as much about your employability. Besides a strong academic record and work experience, you’ll need to demonstrate your involvement in extra-curricular activities.

What we’re really interested in is the breadth and depth of your potential. After all, we can only give you the commercial expertise, strategic insights and customer and people management skills you need to reach the top if that’s where you actually want to be.

So how do you know if you’ve got what it takes to get there? We’ve identified the key behavioural sets that mark out our future leaders:

Inspire

You can engage and empower others to gain their commitment, and take pride in demonstrating personal ownership and supporting your team.

Collaborate

You understand the importance of building strong networks and relationships, inside the company and out, to create value for our customers.

Be Bold

You’re not afraid to think bigger and act quicker. You embrace innovation and new ways of doing things.

Beliefs

You share our beliefs in making our customers lives much easier, being a force for good, and creating value for Barclays.

Perspective

You can see the business through the eyes of our customers, and use this insight to guide your decision making.

Expertise

You have, or are willing to learn, the core professional and technical skills and experiences necessary for success.

Drive

You have the ambition and motivation to deliver consistent results and make it to the top.
