Imagine a future full of possibilities at Lloyds Banking Group

blogs Blogs

With brands including Bank of Scotland, Halifax, Lloyds Bank and Scottish Widows, the history of our Group stretches back 325 years. Yet, our ambitions couldn’t be more future-focused. Which makes this an exciting time to start your career with us.

This is no ordinary journey

With 18 million online customers, we’re the UK’s largest digital bank. And right now, we’re reimagining what we do to create even faster, safer and simpler experiences for the people we serve.

We’ve already made great headway in our digital transformation, investing £4bn in advancing our technology since 2018. But there’s far more to come as we invest £3bn more in our people, technology and data, delivering change at a pace and scale that’s unprecedented within our industry.

It’s a transformation we all believe in – backed by our most senior Executives and embraced by everyone who wants to do better for our customers. And our excitement for what comes next is evident everywhere you look. Because as we continue to simplify our architecture, modernise our processes, enhance our infrastructure and make greater, smarter use of cloud technology, we’ll enable even faster change and deliver even better benefits for both colleagues and customers.

A culture of continuous learning

The key to realising this ambition lies as much in our people as it does in our data and technology. Pushing the boundaries of what technology can do takes progressive ideas and continuous innovation. That’s why, when you join us, you’ll find an organisation that has learning at its core.

Here, we’re creating a culture where personal development is the norm and all colleagues can take time to build their skills. Where we’re creating safe spaces for people to try new tech and explore ideas, like our regular Reboot hackathons. And where we’re passionate about growing our community of women in technology through initiatives like Women ConnecTech.

For our graduates, it means they have the flexibility, development and resources they need to make their own journey as exciting as ours. From an interactive development programme designed exclusively for them, to their ability to access 24/7 online learning, not to mention the all-round support of managers, peers and mentors, our graduates have every opportunity to learn, explore and thrive.

Unlimited ways to grow

That’s exactly what Sushmita , a former Technology Engineering Graduate, has been able to do. When she was thinking about her first career move, she wanted to go to somewhere that would embrace her skills and encourage her confidence.

“Before joining Lloyds Banking Group, I had no prior experience of working in a corporate job, but I learned so many technical and personal skills throughout my three placements,” she says.

“It’s been really satisfying to see that not only am I improving myself and getting transferable skills in tech, but I'm also becoming a more well-rounded person. My managers have told me they’ve seen such a change in my confidence. I can't believe I’ve been able to do some of the things I’ve done, like speaking to a large audience and hosting meetings.”

Make your future part of ours

The opportunities this next ambitious phase of our journey offers go far beyond personal development, of course. In data alone, you’ll can be part of harnessing one of the largest datasets in the UK. While, in engineering, you’ll be working with wide-ranging tech within a business that’s aiming to be a digital leader, as well as a digital bank.

But whichever area of our business you choose to explore, there’s the potential to make a real impact.

Behind all our ambitions is the shared vision that we can shape finance as a force for good. So, whether you’re helping develop new services that will increase customers’ financial resilience or delivering changes that will help the way we work become more inclusive or efficient, you can be part of projects that are creating more sustainable futures for people all over the UK.

Imagine beginning your career somewhere you can change the future of financial services.

Where you have the support to be yourself, explore your strengths, all while driving widespread change that benefits millions.
