Finance is the oxygen of the economy. Acting transparently and with expertise, we deploy finance responsibly to support people and businesses, acting with empathy and integrity, championing innovation and sustainability, for the common good and the long term. We have the capability and capital, the operational resilience and the commitment, to make a real and lasting difference to the economic lives of customers and communities. This is as true today as it was when our bank was founded over 330 years ago.

A values-driven business

We deploy finance responsibly to support people and businesses, acting with empathy and integrity, championing innovation and sustainability, for the common good and the long term.

Our Purpose is the reason our company exists; the societal need we fulfil. It encapsulates what we are fundamentally here to do. It provides a clear expression of the kind of business we want to be, and what we care about, which in turn helps guide us in the decisions we make.

Working at Barclays

In support of this great purpose, everything we do is underpinned and driven by our strong values of Respect, Integrity, Service, Excellence and Stewardship. These are fundamental to who we are, wherever we are, and in whatever role we have at Barclays – and they really matter to us.

Our values guide us, but we also believe opportunities are created by those who like to challenge convention, explore new possibilities and run with bold ideas. People who think differently, who bring all kinds of backgrounds, skills, experiences and perspectives with them.

We believe that a diverse, inclusive and engaged culture is vital; that everyone’s value should be recognised and celebrated; and that every colleague has the same opportunity to fulfil their career potential. We focus on five global diversity agendas: Disability, Gender, LGBT, Multicultural and Multigenerational. And we support our colleagues in their life and work through our wellbeing initiatives, dynamic working and networking groups.

Customer Service Advisor in Liverpool, Merseyside
on 7 June 2023
Great Company, difficult role
Barclays do a lot to support staff and create a good working environment. The training is decent and the pay good for the role. They make an effort to unskilled staff. The drawback is the days can be really long, there is very little leeway when taking calls and every second is accounted for. It's interesting work but it can really start to ware you down

Loved it
Was there for many years and sad to leave. The work was demanding, but my colleagues made it worthwhile. Opportunities for progression were there if you put the work in.

Hectic
Great thing was about meeting customers and chatting with them. Stressful thing was having to seek and reach targets. It might have changed now not sure. Overall I did enjoy it. It's a big branch and great colleagues
