Every one of our clients is unique. And they build, use, enjoy and pass on their wealth in different ways - whether it's travelling the world, helping others through philanthropy, sharing success with family and friends or indulging a passion for collecting. So our skill lies in understanding our clients' life priorities, goals and attitude to risk. We act as a trusted guide to all of our clients. We help them to understand their choices and make the investment decisions that are right for them. With access to the entire resources of Barclays Bank plc, we believe that no-one is better placed to help our clients get the most from their wealth.

The key to our success is building relationships based on trust and understanding. To develop these relationships requires particular qualities and abilities, and we invest in people who have them. That's why we developed our graduate programme - to nurture the next generation of private bankers.

An unparalleled amount of real client exposure. Support to study towards the CFA qualification. Gaining valuable hands-on skills doing fascinating work right from the start. And three rotations across our global business.

For all of these reasons and more, the graduate programme offers graduates the best possible introduction to life as a Private Banker with the wealth and investment management division of Barclays.

As a global business, we offer graduate and undergraduate opportunities. Wherever you join us, you'll need to have a passion for wealth management and be ready to take the first step into this challenging, exciting and uniquely fulfilling career.

It takes ambition and drive to make the most of this extraordinary opportunity. So we value commitment, passion, integrity and focus on a wealth management career above all else.
