About
Barclays

Barclays is a British
universal bank. It is diversified by business, by different types
of customers and clients, and by geography. Barclays businesses
include consumer banking and payments operations around the world,
as well as a top-tier, full service, global corporate and
investment bank, all of which are supported by its service company
which provides technology, operations and functional services
across the Group.

Values

Everything Barclays does is
shaped by its five values of Respect, Integrity, Service,

Diversity

aims to foster a culture where individuals of all backgrounds feel
confident in bringing their whole selves to work, feel included and
their talents are nurtured, empowering them to contribute fully to
Barclays vision and goals.

Hybrid
Working

Barclays is currently in
the early stages of implementing a hybrid working environment,
which means that many colleagues spend part of their working hours
at home and part in the office, depending on the nature of the role
they are in. Barclays is flexible on how this works and it may
continue to change and evolve. Depending on your team, typically
this means that colleagues spend a minimum of between 20% to 60% of
their time in the office, which could be over a week, a month or a
quarter. However, some colleagues may choose to spend more time in
the office over a typical period than their role type requires.
Barclays also has a flexible working process where, subject to
business needs, all colleagues globally are able to request work
patterns to reflect their personal
circumstances
