More about working at Barclays

Our approach to hybrid working ensures there’s the right balance of working alongside colleagues at our onsite locations, as required for each role.

Some roles may require full onsite working. Please discuss the working pattern requirements for the role you are applying for with the hiring manager.

We continue to embed and review our hybrid working environment and remain in a phase of testing and learning. This means that working arrangements could change, with reasonable notice, to align with the needs of our business.
