For Branch Network roles and Halifax Estate Agency , if there are no suitable current vacancies, you can register your interest for a future vacancy with HBOS. Please go to http://www.hbosretailcareers.com, search the vacancies and select 'Register Interest in Future Vacancies' if there are none suitable.
How long does it take to apply on line?
About 20 minutes. And you don't have to apply all at once, you can do it in stages and save each section as you go along.
I applied to HBOS before. Can I reapply?
We have many different roles at HBOS and even if you have applied for one, there may be others you are interested in. So please do apply for any you are interested in. We do ask though that if you were not successful for one particular job after going through to interview, that you wait 6 months before re-applying for the same role.
What is the deadline for applications?
If we have a deadline for a vacancy it is detailed in the advert.
