Introducing the Atom Graduate Scheme
Our scheme provides a gateway into fintech for talented and motivated people.
Every year, we will welcome a new intake of graduates to our bank where they benefit from a positive blend of knowledge sharing, hands on experience and personal development.
When you start our Graduate Scheme, you’ll begin by joining one of our graduate value streams: Business, Tech or Finance.
We are keen to create the future leaders of Atom, so each one of our schemes is structured to give you a comprehensive overview of our organisation! Our schemes in the Business and Tech value streams run for two years, and our scheme in the Finance value stream runs for three years to allow time to study for a professional finance qualification (Atom funded, of course).
