The Bank of England is the UK's central bank. Our mission is to deliver monetary and financial stability for the British people. Each of our 4,000 people are committed to public service and dedicated to promoting the good of the people of the United Kingdom.
In April 2021, the Bank of England announced its intention to establish a new northern hub in Leeds to help us better serve and represent the people of the UK, gain better insights into the economy and support our mission to maintain monetary and financial stability for the whole country.
This is a new role based in our central Leeds office to support the work of the UK Footprint Project (UKFP) team which was established to design and deliver the new office.
The UKFP team is small but growing, and we want to as much as possible represent the variety of backgrounds, life experiences and cultures found in the UK. We are actively seeking the benefits of having a range of backgrounds and characteristics in our team. We define diversity as both who we are (identity diversity, such as gender or ethnicity) and how we think (cognitive diversity). Diverse teams are more inclined to consider novel ideas and challenge each other, enabling them to infer cause and effect and to solve problems better and thereby help us to achieve our mission. Diversity does not mean ticking boxes, it means ensuring we are best able to fulfil our mission of promoting the good of the people of the UK.
To help us identify the best candidates for our roles, we are committed to the use of inclusive recruitment processes and to ensuring diverse recruitment outcomes. These commitments are grounded in principles of meritocracy, fairness, openness, ethical behaviour and respect for people. We anonymise applications so that hiring teams cannot see your personal information, including your CV, when reviewing your submission.
This advert sets out minimum essential criteria for applicants, as well as desirable criteria, competencies and skills that we believe would be helpful for the roles available. You should not be put off applying if you do not meet / have all of the desirable criteria.
