At Nationwide, we're making banking fairer, more rewarding and for the good of society. Unlike the banks we are owned by our members, not shareholders. That’s anyone who banks, saves or has a mortgage with us. Which means we can always focus on what’s best for them. It’s our fundamental difference.
You'll feel that difference when you join our Early Careers programmes. When you're inspired by fairer finances, passionate about making a meaningful impact, and truly care about customers, you're one of us. An advocate for positive change.
We're welcoming applications from mid-November 2024. Register your interest and we'll let you know when to apply.

Any offer of employment is subject to providing the appropriate proof of right-to-work status within the UK prior to your start date. If you require visa sponsorship to lawfully work in the UK you will not be prevented from applying for a role at Nationwide, however, the ability to sponsor visas is determined by the relevant UK immigration laws at the time of application.
The Skilled Worker route is points-based and there are specific requirements relating to skill level of the role and minimum salary expectations. Further information can be found here on the current eligibility requirements for the Skilled Worker route.
Unfortunately, Nationwide are unable to advise or confirm whether you will meet the eligibility for visa sponsorship or other immigration routes.
Nationwide does not support the personal costs associated with a Skilled Worker visa application, namely personal visa application fees and Immigration Health Surcharge costs.
