Are work placements available?

At the moment Santander UK does not have any summer placements. Please regularly check our website for further updates.

Will Santander UK obtain a work permit for me?

No, to apply and work for us on any of our opportunities, you must already have the right to work and remain in the UK at the time of application. We will ask you to provide proof of this. You will need to have at least 13 months eligibility to work in the UK full time from the date of application. We are unable to accept applications from international applicants who require a work permit to work in the UK. We are unable to sponsor visa applications for you.

When can I start?

Our roles may have immediate or imminent start dates. Start dates will be discussed during the face-to-face interview or assessment centre.

Do I need to open a bank account with Santander UK?

You do not need a Santander UK bank account to apply. However, if you are successful in your application, you will be expected to open an account and have your salary paid in when you join us.

Is there an age limit for jobs?

No. Opportunities are open to all applicants who demonstrate the aptitude or ability to undertake the roles.

I am interested in more than one position in Santander.

If you are interested in multiple positions with the same job title you will only need to complete the one application form and then let your interviewer know of the other vacancies you are interested in at your telephone interview. If the positions you are interested in have different job titles please check with the recruitment team and we will advise you if you will be required to complete separate application forms.

Can I still apply if the vacancy I am interested in is no longer being advertised?

Once a vacancy has been removed from our website it will mean that we are no longer accepting application forms for that vacancy.

Can I arrange my telephone interview via email?

We are unable to arrange telephone interviews via email. Please call a member of the recruitment team on 0870 8509 142 between 8.30am and 6.00pm Monday to Friday so that we can arrange a mutually convenient time to conduct the interview.

How much notice do I need to give to cancel/rearrange my telephone interview?

The more notice you can give us the better. If you know you will be unable to attend at the time booked please contact a member of the recruitment team to discuss your options.

If I pass my telephone interview am I guaranteed a face-to-face interview?

If you pass your telephone interview, or in some cases the initial pre-screening process, you are not guaranteed a face-to-face interview but we will advise you accordingly.

What if I have a disability?
