As well as customer service opportunities available within branches or in a contact centre we run the Accelerate School Leaver Programme which covers the entire country.

Our Programme equips candidates with the knowledge, skills and experiences to work in our UK Corporate Banking Division. Running over two years, it balances on-the-job training with formal development courses. You have a tailored induction in your chosen business area and the opportunity to study for a relevant professional qualification, paid for by RBS.

You'll need to have a total of 240 UCAS points or equivalent and if you have some relevant work experience such as customer service, this would be an advantage too.

An internship is a great way to gain an insight into the world of financial services. It offers valuable experience and could help you secure a place on one of our graduate programmes.

For penultimate year students, we offer a range of internships from ten weeks to six months, across our different business areas. These are open to students from all academic disciplines that can demonstrate an interest in banking and finance and are normally held in the summer.

After a one-week orientation, where you’ll learn market basics and meet your new colleagues, you’ll spend the remaining nine weeks learning from leading banking professionals and gaining hands-on experience. Throughout, you’ll have the chance to attend a number of high profile networking events. We’ll also assign you a buddy and a mentor to guide you throughout the ten weeks.

You’ll find out what makes us different to other banks and what helps people to flourish here. We’ll also give you the chance to showcase your talents. Perform well, and we’ll offer you a graduate position for the following year.

For students in their first year, we also have an Easter Insight programme. This one-week programme offers you the chance to gain valuable work experience. It will include technical training, networking events and time spent shadowing senior members of the team. Perform well and you’ll be offered a place on our Summer Internship programme for the following year.

70% of the best interns last year went on to be offered places on our graduate programmes. So, if you want to get a head start, an internship is a great opportunity to do so.
