You’d have to go on their career Santander future talents website and then search opportunities to find it

they will be the ones to provide a slot from the two days they have informed me about, so one of the days will be given to me that's why they asked me to leave them open

I also applied for the retail grad scheme but my process has been different so far. I was only required to do one online assessment which was a personality test.

I’ve now been invite for an hour long interview with their selection team through Microsoft. I was wondering if anyone else has had this experience?

Hi there, congratulations for getting the interview! I have only submitted my online test 2 days ago and still waiting for an update. I think from last year’s thread they have changed the process, which I believe the second stage was just video interview, but now it seems they’ve changed to in person interview on Microsoft Teams, may I ask the date of your interview?

They have given me a selection of dates to choose from 2 weeks from now.
