About Glasgow

  • Our brand-new state-of-the-art campus in Glasgow is somewhere you'll want to work. It's the home of a team of 5,500 colleagues who thrive in an environment that's designed with collaboration and the future of work in mind. The campus is made up of creative spaces and technology with hybrid working opportunities at the heart. The campus is inclusive to all, with a specific focus on neurodiversity through our partnership with Scottish Autism.
  • As well as offering the perfect space for collaborative working, there's also plenty to get involved in outside of your day job. From live music in the canteen, a rooftop bar that overlooks the Clyde for meeting up with colleagues after hours and even an on-site beekeeping club.

About Knutsford (Cheshire)

  • Our office in Knutsford, which we call Radbroke Hall, is just a stones-throw away from Manchester with accessible Barclays transfer buses taking colleagues form Knutsford station to our world-class campus.
  • Set in a stunning 64-acre site, Barclays Radbroke campus in Knutsford, Cheshire, is a tech hub like no other. The campus has tennis courts, gardens and even beehives, as well as the latest in technology systems, equipment, and development.

  • Northampton is a key strategic hub, and home to a community of over 3,000 talented people. You’ll find our brilliant Barclays minds in our lakeside office, built in 1996.
