Return to Work with Deutsche Bank UK & Ireland

At Deutsche Bank we look upon careers as a journey. Unexpected things happen, priorities change and individual motivations evolve over time. Career paths are rarely straightforward and often involve many twists and turns. One thing is clear though - taking a career break gives you valuable new insights, experiences and skills – all of which can be extremely useful in the corporate environment.

We’re looking for talented professionals in many areas of our business that have taken a career break of 12 months or more. We value the full breadth of our employees’ experiences – whether that be professional background and qualifications or time spent doing the things that are most important to you. We want you to be the best you can be and make the most out of your next career step. That’s why we’ll support your return every step of the way - and you'll have all you need to capitalise on your experience to date.

We invite you to explore Life at Deutsche Bank – View our interactive brochure here

We will support your return with:

  • Access to return-to-work training and development resources
  • Peer circle and mentoring opportunities
  • Guides for you and your manager to support your journey back into the workplace
  • Access to internal support networks
  • Up to 20-days of emergency childcare per year for children aged three months to eight years.
  • An opportunity to discuss flexible working arrangements

A more flexible workplace

We understand that employee expectations and preferences are changing and have implemented a hybrid working model to enable employees to achieve a working pattern that works for them. Eligible employees can work some of their days in the office and remotely from home for the others (subject to their manager’s agreement).

Learn more about our hybrid working model here

Meet Annabel Annabel's return shows a woman of many talents makes an ideal talent leader

Returners are experienced professionals. They don’t lack ability or need hand holding. They sometimes need a bit of re-familiarisation with your company.
