Why I chose Bank of Ireland

Professional and personal development is massively encouraged on the programme. For my actuarial exams, I was offered an attractive study scheme which rewards its students for exam progression through salary increases and exam bonuses.

Kate Tarpey

Actuary

Being able to be flexible in both the way I work, and in how I work has allowed me to become more focused on both colleague-to-colleague engagement and value-adding work contributions to my team.

Thomas Robertson

Accounting & Finance

The best part of the Graduate Programme is the independence and power to choose which tasks to be a part of and how I structure my day. There are a number of supports that are in place for further learning, growth and internal movement.

Outside of your day to day role, there are many ways to get involved in colleague activities such as Couch to 5K, sports and social clubs, and even Table Tennis tournaments!

Couch to 5k

You get a lot. You give a lot too.

Our colleagues have always been keen to support their favourite charities and good causes, through local initiatives or large-scale events.

Our charity and community investment programme, Give Together, supports colleagues who wish to fundraise or volunteer for important causes in their lives. They can avail of one day’s paid leave each year to volunteer and can also apply to have any fundraising matched up to certain limits.

Bank of Ireland colleagues volunteer over 1,000 days annually, and generate millions of euro in matched fundraising, payroll giving and other charitable contributions.
