Why join us

Barclays Internal Audit has a strong reputation as a world-class internal audit function with high standards for service quality, insight value, collaboration with the business, efficiency, people development and career progression.

A role in BIA offers opportunities to gain exposure to a wide range of business functions and some of the most senior and influential people in the Barclays Group.

Many BIA people grow their careers by gaining experience in multiple BIA teams and achieving promotion to more senior levels within the function. Others seek their next career step by moving from BIA into positions in various other parts of the Barclays Group, for which experience in BIA proves invaluable. As part of BIA’s commitment to developing its people, the function also operates BIA Academies – week-long residential training courses for new recruits or newly promoted BIA colleagues.
