Graduate roles: what they involve

The open graduate programme is in syndicate and portfolio management and is based in London. Its description offers exposure to how large scale financing is structured, distributed and managed across global markets, with practical experience in credit, risk and portfolio management while supporting clients and business growth.

The programme lasts two years and includes structured development, mentoring and practical experience. It involves working with colleagues across markets and products, so it may suit graduates interested in financing, credit, risk, portfolio management and international work. The other listed roles are experienced positions across client services, operations, change, trading, risk, mergers and acquisitions, sanctions, tax and private services.

How to apply to the graduate scheme

The graduate description mentions structured development, mentoring and practical experience, but it does not set out the application stages. As a typical UK process, expect to submit an online application and CV, followed by assessments and interviews if shortlisted. The exact steps can vary, so check the current careers site before applying.

Use the advert to check the programme requirements, location and any documents requested. Make your application evidence based by linking your academic, project, work or extracurricular experience to the programme's credit, risk, portfolio management and client focused work. Keep checking the careers site for the current process and any role specific instructions.

Sponsor licence and international applicants

The sponsor register lists a Worker sponsor licence rated A in London. The listed routes are Global Business Mobility: Senior or Specialist Worker and Skilled Worker. This means the employer holds permission to sponsor workers through those routes, but it does not confirm that every vacancy, including the graduate programme, is eligible for sponsorship.

International applicants should read each advert carefully and ask the employer whether the particular role can support the relevant route. Check the role requirements and current immigration rules on GOV.UK, including any Home Office conditions that apply. A sponsor licence alone is not a promise of sponsorship or a guarantee that an application will succeed.

A sponsor licence means the employer is allowed to sponsor visas. It does not mean every role it advertises will be sponsored. Check the advert, and the salary rules for the Skilled Worker visa on GOV.UK, before you apply.
