When you join Santander, you can look forward to taking control of your own development. 

This starts with being able to develop the skills for your current role and continues throughout your future career, whatever your aspirations are. We believe that the best way to achieve this is through a blend of on-the-job experience, formal and informal learning - all with the support of your line manager. 

Support from day one, that never stops

During your first four weeks at Santander, you’ll be taken through our new onboarding journey. This has been specially designed to make sure you’re well equipped to embark in your new role.

We’ll also ask you to complete our award-winning introductory learning to help make sure you’ve got all the knowledge you need as a member of the Santander team.   

Sounds exciting, right? Well, this support is just the beginning of what development opportunities you can expect to encounter during your time with us.
