• Stay on top of the latest thinking in communications and bring new ideas, approaches and creativity to the team.

There'll be an opportunity to broaden your experience by working with other teams in Corporate Affairs, looking at how we help journalists and politicians understand how we help Britain prosper and how we use social media to enhance our Group reputation.

• Someone who’s collaborative and comfortable working with stakeholders of all levels
• Experience delivering leadership communications through a range of channels, in particular Viva Engage, SharePoint and virtual broadcasts

• Awareness and interest of the broader media and external landscape and how it affects the business and people you support.

If you think all banks are the same, you’d be wrong. We’re an innovative, fast‑changing business that’s shaping finance as a force for good. A bank that’s empowering its people to innovate, explore possibilities and grow with purpose.

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity or culture. We were one of the first major organisations to set goals on diversity in senior roles, create a menopause health package, and a dedicated Working with Cancer initiative.

And it’s why we especially welcome applications from under‑represented groups.

We’re disability confident. So if you’d like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.

• An annual performance‑related bonus
