Barclays plc
London · founded 1690
Barclays is a 330-year-old British universal bank - retail, cards, corporate and a large investment bank - headquartered at One Churchill Place in Canary Wharf, London, with around 100,000 employees across 40+ countries. It traces to a 1690 Quaker goldsmith partnership and put the world's first cash machine in the ground in 1967. The careers material leans on flexible working, wellbeing and strong enhanced family leave (26 weeks full maternity/adoption pay, 16 weeks full paternity in the UK). Honest caveats: it is a big, heavily regulated legacy bank, investment-banking roles carry the long hours the sector is known for, and headline perks like private medical, holiday and share plans vary by country and grade and aren't published, so confirm the specifics for your own location and level with the recruiter.

the legal floor where they are
Set by law, not by Barclays plc. It applies to every employer in London.
| PTO | 28 (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
|---|---|
| State pension | auto-enrolment: employer contributes at least 3% of qualifying earnings (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| Disability rights at work | Equality Act 2010: disability is a protected characteristic and s.20 imposes a duty to make reasonable adjustments (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| Neurodivergent adjustments | Reasonable adjustments are owed on the IMPACT of a condition, not on a diagnosis. ACAS is explicit that no formal diagnosis is required, so the duty can arise before anyone has been assessed -- which matters when an adult autism assessment is a multi-year wait. Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, dyspraxia and dyscalculia are covered where the effect on day-to-day activities is substantial and long-term. Asking for an adjustment is itself protected: you cannot lawfully be dismissed or treated worse for asking. (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| State school fees | state schools free; independent schools are unsubsidised (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
| Path to citizenship | Five years plus 12 months' settled status (indefinite leave to remain), with Life in the UK and English B1 (Working Time Regulations 1998; Employment Rights Act 1996) |
