The Bank of England is the UK’s central bank. Our mission is to deliver monetary and financial stability for the British people.

Analytical roles supervising UK banks, Bank of England- open to applicants with any background

Ever wondered what it’s like to work at the heart of the financial system, delivering financial stability for the UK? Whatever your background or current career, if you’re motivated to work with us we’d love to hear from you.

We work for the public good by supervising the activities of over 600 UK banks and building societies, ranging from global institutions to start-up ‘challenger’ banks. Our mission is the safety and soundness of the UK’s banks.

What might I work on?

Our work is high profile. It is directly linked to the fall-out from the financial crisis. You might focus on anything from the newest banks trying to shake up the status quo – to some of the largest and most sophisticated banks in the UK.

Work in banking supervision is varied which means there’s always something exciting going on. You will use your growing analytical skills and financial understanding to deliver analytical assessments and understand the risks posed by the banks we supervise. You will share your findings internally, and work closely with the most senior leaders of UK financial firms to ensure our supervisory strategy is being implemented. All this means you’ll get plenty of opportunities to develop your technical and interpersonal skills through exposure to engaging and complex issues.

Are you who we’re looking for?

If you’re motivated to work for us, we would love to work with you! We want inquisitive people who enjoy working with people and share our values of diverse ideas and open debate. We’re more concerned about what you can bring than what you know. You don’t need a background in the financial sector to thrive here provided you’re a quick learner who’s able to analyse problems and make good judgements.

You need to have strong interpersonal and communication skills, be collaborative and support our inclusive culture. You must be comfortable setting your own targets, delivering on time and working under your own initiative. It will be your role to investigate issues and probe further when things don’t look quite right.

We employ people from all backgrounds to join our diverse and inclusive teams. We have a long history of training and developing staff from a variety of previous careers to succeed in important roles.

We’re currently looking for people at the following grades:
