Retail Banking at Barclays
Business Banking
Working alongside entrepreneurs, helping over a million small and medium enterprises to grow and thrive. Business Banking at Barclays is more than just financial support - it’s about fostering long-lasting relationships and giving businesses the tools they need to scale and succeed.
Are you eligible?
First, you’ll need the right qualifications. For the Retail Banking Apprenticeship in Knutsford you’ll need 5 GCSE’s at A*-C (9-5) including Maths and English (or equivalent)’.
Beyond that though, we’re also looking for commitment and enthusiasm. Our Apprenticeships place deep investment in you as an individual. That means we need you to match that commitment: you’ll turn up every day ready to work hard, push yourself, and think differently about what you’re capable of. You’ll have the backing of a global bank, and you’ll rise to that expectation.
To apply for our apprentice programme you must meet the Government's apprentice funding requirements, and have the legal right to work in the UK for the duration of the apprentice programme. We are not able to provide sponsorship for our apprentice programme.
Working in Knutsford
Set in a stunning 64-acre site, Barclays Radbroke campus in Knutsford, Cheshire, is a tech hub like no other. The campus has tennis courts, gardens and even bee hives, as well as the latest in technology systems, equipment, and development.

Whilst our campus facilities will make you want to come to the office to work every day, flexible working is celebrated and we are currently operating in a hybrid working environment; 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. And when you do come into the office to work, we offer a free coach service from both Knutsford and Northwich station multiple times a day if you'd prefer to travel by train.
