Myth busting
Did you know...
We know that all of our colleagues have responsibilities and priorities outside of work, as well as things that they love to do around their working day. When you work with us, we offer a mix of home and office based working for many of our roles, in order to allow you to balance your personal and work life. You’re empowered to balance the needs of your team, the business and colleagues with enough time set aside to come together to collaborate, connect and socialise. Learn more here.
We know that an inclusive culture that celebrates our people’s unique diversity is essential to the success of our business. So when we say we promote diversity, we mean it. We are a global family of 131 nationalities. Our Employee Resource Groups are central to delivering our diversity and inclusion strategy, and include groups for communities including gender, LGBT+, generations, people with disabilities and their carers, as well as origins, nationalities and ethnicities.

There are certainly some roles where numbers are important, and you will need a specific degree type to join us, but there are also a huge amount of opportunities within the Bank that don’t require a specific degree or background. Alongside traditional banking and finance roles, we have graduate programmes in all kinds of areas including Risk, Technology, HR, and more. Find out more about our different business areas here.
At Standard Chartered we are committed to innovation and creativity by leveraging technologies and partnership to provide innovative banking solutions and support sustainable development. We aren’t afraid to push boundaries of traditional industries like trade finance and working capital.
We’re committed to sustainable social and economic development through our business, operations and communities. We are committed to promoting economic and social development in the markets we serve, doing so sustainably and equitably in line with our purpose and three valued behaviours: ‘Never settle’, ‘Better together’ and ‘Do the right thing'. This sustainability philosophy sets out how we integrate sustainability into our organisational decision-making. Find out more here.
We are committed to supporting the wellbeing of our colleagues across the globe, and we know that this looks different to everyone. In addition to flexible working, we offer support covering mental, physical, social and financial wellbeing. In addition, all colleagues are offered 3 days of paid leave each year to volunteer in their local communities. Find out more here.
