As one of the largest employers in Malta, Bank of Valletta is continuously on the lookout for talent. Attracting the best talent available on the island will enhance the Bank’s efforts to offer the highest level of service to customers. The Bank offers careers in the areas of Banking and Finance, Anti-Financial Crime, Anti-Money Laundering, Credit Financing for Business and Retail, Human Resources, Data Analysis and Modelling, ESG, Project Management, Marketing, IT & Digital, Audit and Risk Management.

In support of this recruitment drive, the Bank recently participated in the KSU Careers Expo at the University of Malta Campus, offering part-time job experiences to current full-time graduate students. Working up to a 30-hour week during the scholastic year, students can change to a full-time basis during the summer break, enabling them to make the most of any time off from their studies. This will give students, the opportunity to apply their studies, gain implicit knowledge through on-the-job experience and upskill themselves with new talents and abilities. This will in turn strengthen their potential to hit off their employment journey successfully once their studies are completed.

Speaking about BOV’s participation in the KSU Careers Expo, BOV Chief People and Culture Officer, Ray Debattista highlighted the various benefits that the Bank offers to its employees. “Working at Bank of Valletta is more than just a job.

Mr Debattista reiterated that “We strive to promote a healthy work-life balance which comes in various forms such as additional vacation leave days, flexible working hours, remote and hybrid working opportunities and fun activities offered to staff members and their families. We also offer financial benefits such as attractive staff rates on home loans, other free banking services, employee wellness allowances and free health insurance to our staff members.
