UK CAREERS | OUR APPLICATION PROCESS

It’s great that you are considering joining our community and whether you’ve already applied or you’re just thinking about doing so, you’ll find plenty of information on the application process here. If there’s anything we can do in the recruitment process to help you achieve your best, get in touch. Whether it’s a copy of our application form in another format or additional assistance, we’re available through telephone, email, or face to face. You can contact us at resourcing@santander.co.uk or call 0870 414 9080. If you’re still undecided that’s ok, moving roles or starting a career is a big step so why not explore our website or see what our colleagues both past and present say what it’s like being at Santander via our Glassdoor page?

Once you’ve submitted your application, we’ll review and check you meet the requirements for your chosen role. We want to make sure the skills and experience you can bring, match what the role requires. We'll usually be in touch within a week of your initial application date to let you know if you are progressing through the journey with us or not.

For some of our roles, you will be invited to complete this stage. We embrace digital ways of recruitment and you will be invited to participate in some online games and complete some pre-recorded questions. The games look to assess a range of cognitive abilities and conscientiousness. They are designed to be a more engaging, fun way to showcase these abilities. The second part of this stage is your chance to stand out and for us to get to know you. It's a video interview (not as scary as it sounds) where you will be asked 4 to 5 questions. You will have up to 7 days to complete this stage and you can pause and come back if needed. We will review your games scores and video interview based on the requirements for the role within 7 days and we may contact you if we have any questions regarding your application before progressing your application to the relevant stage. If you’re successful we’ll make a verbal offer for the role which once accepted, you will be invited to go through our Fraud, Credit and Referencing checks. Once you have completed these checks, we will issue you your contract.
