Lloyds banking group

At Lloyds Banking Group, we're driven by a clear purpose - to Help Britain prosper. Across the Group, our colleagues are focused on making a difference to customers, businesses and communities. And as the UK's largest retail and commercial bank, we have a footprint that touches nearly every community and household in the UK.

Our brands, our services and our business span every aspect of banking and finance, including some of the biggest names on the UK's high streets. That gives us a big responsibility to support the UK economy, and we have a clear strategy to put customers first - and achieve our vision of becoming the best bank for customers.

Here at LBG, Agile Working practices are promoted and supported.

Agile working is about more than working flexibly - it's empowering and entrusting you to think creatively about how, when and where you work, to deliver the best outcomes for you, our customers and our business. If you like the sound of this, come and speak to us.

Although location is suggested as based in London - this can be very flexible and would welcome applications from anywhere in UK - so you may be liaising with stakeholders remotely via video, spending face to face time with your manager, or occasionally travelling to one of our other hub locations for a meeting.
