‘No financial experience’ required for Bank of England roles

Liz Truss has accused the Bank of England of being “captured by leftist ideology” after it advertised jobs that do not require any financial experience.

A recruitment advert posted by the Bank online reads: “No finance background? No problem. Discover exciting opportunities at our Leeds office today.”

It invited candidates to “explore diverse roles”.

Ms Truss, who has been a fierce critic of the Bank since leaving office, took to X to slam the post on Monday.

“See how the Bank of England has been captured by leftist ideology. DEI [Diversity, Equity and Inclusion] is more important than knowing anything about the economy,” she wrote.
