As part of the Group's commitments as a result of ring-fencing legislation, colleagues based in the Islands are required to be exclusively dedicated to the non-ring-fenced bank and its subsidiaries. These colleagues would therefore not be able to undertake roles for the Ring Fenced Bank from their existing location and would need to consider relocation when applying.
