At a time where other high street banks are closing branches, Metro Bank is on the lookout for 500 new recruits to support its plan to open more 'stores' .
The challenger bank plans to open 12 new stores in 2017 as well as upgrading its mobile app and launching its fully integrated online account opening platform.
Metro Bank will be offering these jobs to candidates over the next 12 months with roles ranging from customer-facing, contact centre and head office positions.
The additional roles will boost the bank's workforce to over 3,000 as Craig Donaldson, chief executive officer at Metro Bank, said 2017 would be an exciting year for the bank.
“We're proud to invest in the development of our people, with a dedicated university that supports colleagues in their career progression and promoting over 20% of our workforce last year alone.
“We're very much looking forward to welcoming new colleagues who are just as passionate about revolutionising banking as we are.”
Metro Bank currently has 48 stores across London and the South and plans to open more across the UK over the next 12 months.
