Banking graduates get jobs boost - graduate jobs

Banking graduates in Scotland have been given a boost after Barclays Capital announced it is to create about 300 jobs in Glasgow as part of a "shared services hub" with sister company Barclays Wealth.

Barclays Capital's global operations - carried out in London, New York and Singapore - are set to be moved to Glasgow in line with Barclays Wealth, which already has back-office functions in the city.

Jobs to be created in Glasgow are mainly in the operations control (within equities, fixed income, credit derivatives, commodities and structured products and loans and treasury), reference data and securities operations areas.

The Barclays group, which already employs about 1,700 people in Scotland, said the move would let the two businesses "share talent and best practice and ultimately enhance our customer and client service".

Scotland's biggest city also contains operational centres for BNP Paribas, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley.
