Few organisations play a more influential
role in the UK's economy than the Bank
of England. As the country's central bank,
we are involved in activities that underpin
the monetary and financial stability of
the country - from setting interest rates,
meeting the liquidity needs of the banking
system, managing the circulation of notes,
to mitigating threats to the whole financial
system.
Because our work is demanding and often
high profile, we look for graduates with high
levels of intellectual ability who can also
demonstrate strong analytical and numeracy
skills. As a graduate entrant, which area of the
Bank you join will depend on your academic
background and skills - some areas of the bank
require specialist economics or technology
skills, for example, but others are open to
a broad range of academic backgrounds,
including maths, finance, history, science and
engineering subjects
The graduate scheme
Your career begins with a three-week
induction, which will give you the chance to
meet senior people within the Bank and to
gain a detailed understanding of our unique
role within the economy. We provide the
technical and business training you need to
get started but we also focus on the 'softer'
skills that will help you make the most of the
Bank's collaborative culture.
Beyond this initial period, you will move
straight into a role within one of our business
areas - Monetary Analysis, Monetary and
Financial Statistics, Markets, Notes, Banking
Services or IT. Here you will be working
within a team, all the while expanding
your responsibilities, knowledge and skills.
Throughout it all, you will be supported by
your line manager, coach and the Graduate
Development Adviser, and you will also
enjoy access to a wide variety of internal and
external training courses.
After 18 months, all graduates attend a threeday
residential professional development
workshop. This provides the opportunity to
reflect on progress so far, and to formulate a
plan to focus your development for promotion
to the next level.
