This is how you can expect your programme to be structured.
The programme
Designed to develop the next generation of Private Bankers
within Barclays Wealth, this structured two-and-a-half-year
programme will give you all the knowledge and experience you need
to make the best possible start to an extraordinary banking
career.
The first 6 months
In your first six months, you'll provide vital support to one of
our Private Bankers. You'll be the first point of contact for
clients and take responsibility for much of the administration
involved in meeting our clients' banking needs. Here you'll get to
grips with the role of a Private Banker and the end-to-end process.
While most of your time will be spent in the office, you'll also
get the chance to visit clients with your Private Banker - learning
first-hand how business is conducted and how relationship
management works.
During this time, you'll also benefit from a wide range of
initial training. It will give you more of an insight into Barclays
Wealth, provide an overview of our core product offering and
specific asset classes. And, in addition to developing business
skills in areas such as project management, communication, teamwork
and taking control of your career, you'll commence work towards the
CFA.
The next 18 months
Over this period you'll undertake three six-month rotations -
one product-focused, one international and one in our wider
Barclays Wealth businesses.
Product rotation - Working closely with the
technical specialists whose job it is to identify business
opportunities and support sales, you'll gain an insight into how we
devise, develop and distribute our products.
International rotation - As well as giving you
exposure to private banking in a different location and the
opportunity to see how another banker runs their book, this also
offers a valuable cross-cultural experience.
Barclays Wealth businesses rotation - Based in
either Wealth Advisory, Wealth International, Wealth
Intermediaries, Business Development or Portfolio Management, the
breadth of knowledge and experience you'll gain will benefit you
and our clients.
The final six months
Returning to your initial team, you'll pull together all the
skills you've learned so far and work towards passing your CFA
level III and becoming a Junior Private Banker.
And after that? With an unparalleled amount of client exposure
and opportunities for growth, there are almost no limits to what
you could achieve.
