Why the Compliance Summer Internship program?

This is your chance to be part of a positive, proactive team doing fascinating, challenging and rewarding work of great importance – and huge variety. Compliance people research and investigate.

We’re involved in surveillance and control, product design and implementation. We are trusted, influential advisers in every area of our global business – simply put, without Compliance, Barclays could not operate.

Combine that with a customer-first attitude, adaptability, and a hunger to learn new technologies, and you’ll be well-positioned to drive meaningful results.

The location for this role is indicated in the job title, and you will be based at that location. If you are successful in receiving a return offer to our graduate program, your location will be the same as it was during your internship.
