We've designed this programme to help talented people gain valuable work experience at the heart of the UK's financial system. First of all, we'll introduce you to the different types of work we do. Then, you'll work in a team, getting involved in our policy, research and operational work. You'll also attend regular training and events with your fellow Industrial Placement colleagues.

The Bank values diversity, equity and inclusion. We play a key role in maintaining monetary and financial stability, and to do that effectively, we believe we need a workforce that reflects the society we serve.
At the Bank of England, we want all colleagues to feel valued and respected, so we're working hard to build an inclusive culture which supports people from all backgrounds and communities to be at their best at work. We celebrate all forms of diversity, including (but not limited to) age, disability, ethnicity, gender, gender identity, race, religion, sexual orientation and socioeconomic status. We believe that it's by drawing on different perspectives and experiences that we'll continue to make the best decisions for the public.
For most roles where work can be carried out at home, we aim for colleagues to spend half of their time in the office, with a minimum of 40% per month. Subject to that minimum requirement, individuals and managers should work together to find what works best for them, their team and stakeholders.
We are proud to be a member of the government's Disability Confident Scheme (DCS). We are committed to creating an equitable interview process for disabled candidates through our membership of the DCS and this means we guarantee progression to video interview for disabled applicants who meet the minimum criteria for the role. If you wish to apply under this scheme, please select 'Yes' to the DCS question at the end of the application form. We understand, however, that not all applicants with a disability may wish to apply through this scheme, and we fully respect that choice; you will still be fully supported with any support or adjustments you may require.
