Working in conventional bank : working for a bank

السؤال

Dear Dr. Monzer, Assalamu Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh, I am a student who lives in the UK with my family. My father was a politician in Yemen and after the war in Yemen ; we had to come here to live. He decided to work from home and invest his money in shares which he has lost due to the financial difficulties the world is facing. This means that now my brother and I have to work to maintain the house and pay the mortgage. My brother is married and has other responsibilities than us. Moreover, I went 2-3 years ago to find a job and found a company which promoted "earn as you learn" scheme which means studying and getting paid from the company. They took 8000 on my behalf from a bank and disappeared. I now have to pay that 8000 back as eleven thousand and more (£ 300 a month). If I pay less than £ 300 a month I pay more interest. I also have other expenses for my university such as travelling costs £ 200, helping my family will also need money and my personal costs. I have two job opportunities after applying for so long. One with a shoe shop working until 10pm sometimes which my parents are refusing and getting £ 400 a month, which will not cover my loan costs plus my travelling. The other is with Barclays bank (9am-5pm 5 days a week) and getting paid £ 1300 + bonus a month. My job will be customer services based job. I want to know if I work for the bank and keep applying for other vacancies while working and leave them when I find one, will that be Halal or is my money going to be haram. I know I need the money, but I don't want haram money. Please guide me to the right path. I want to know what I am supposed to do ; I really need your help. Jazakum Allah Kheir
