Careers - Working at Barclays
 

What We Look For

We're an extremely diverse business, with equally diverse needs in terms of skills and experience. The exact qualities we're after will depend on the job you are applying for as well as the part of the business where your work, but there are certain qualities that mark our Barclays people straightaway.

You'll need to be the kind of person who grabs opportunities and makes the most of them, and someone who has the flexibility to progress in a growing and changing organisation. Most important of all, and this holds true whether you're in a front-line or central support role, is that you must do everything with one eye on the needs of our customers.

It might help to have a look at our five "Guiding Principles" - these are the criteria we'll measure your performance on once you've joined us:

  • Winning Together
  • Best People
  • Customer Focus
  • Pioneering
  • Trusted

To give you an idea about the diversity of our business and what we look for, Barclaycard also have their own set of values. These are:

  • Make Barclaycard a great place to work
  • Seeing the world through our customer's eyes
  • Great leadership and teamwork
  • Delivering on our promises
  • High performance and great behaviours driving exceptional rewards
  • Respect, trust and integrity

So what we look for is different for our different businesses, but our values - or guiding principles - are the glue that binds our organisation together and shape everything we do.
