We are transforming the way we deliver and run our technology here at Lloyds Banking Group! We're developing creative solutions, adopting cutting-edge technologies and moving fast to better serve our customers.

We want to do all of this safely, to ensure our systems are there when our customers need them. Our new technology has to be highly resilient, available, and responsive. It has to be able to recover quickly when things go wrong. We need to understand any weak points and ensure we can fix them. To achieve this, we need to manage risk better.

With us, you'll have a key role to play in shaping the financial services of the future, whilst the scale and reach of our Group mean you'll have many opportunities to learn, grow, and develop.

We keep your data safe. So, we'll only ever ask you to provide confidential or sensitive information once you have formally been invited along to an interview or accepted a verbal offer to join us, which is when we run our background checks. We'll always explain what we need and why, with any request coming from a trusted Lloyds Banking Group person.

We offer a wide-ranging benefits package, which includes:

1. A generous pension contribution of up to 15%;
2. An annual performance-related bonus;
3. Share schemes including free shares;
4. Benefits you can adapt to your lifestyle, such as discounted shopping;
5. 30 days' holiday, with bank holidays on top;
6. A range of wellbeing initiatives and generous parental leave policies.

Our focus is to ensure we're inclusive every day, building an organisation that reflects modern society and celebrates diversity in all its forms. We want our people to feel that they belong and can be their best, regardless of background, identity, or culture.

We're disability confident. So, if you'd like reasonable adjustments to be made to our recruitment processes, just let us know.
