Where will I work?

At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.

All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our parent and carer policies here.

What’s in it for me?

• You’ll be joining a world-class Placement Scheme at Deloitte, in a full-time role with a market-leading salary, benefits and endless opportunities.
• You will get a practical hands-on experience working alongside seasoned professionals in a competitive environment.
• You’ll get a real feel for who we are and if we’re the right fit for your future.
• You may get the opportunity to complete the programme with a graduate job offer (This will depend on performance and availability and would be for the same office and business area as your Industrial Placement programme, so please apply in line with your preferences).
• This is underpinned by our shared sense of purpose:
• We challenge and we rise to the challenge: We’ll support you to achieve your potential through an outstanding training scheme, an internationally recognised professional qualification and ongoing investment in your development throughout your career.
• We include everyone: You’ll be part of an inclusive culture where different perspectives are valued, learning is shared and you can build a strong professional network.
• We do the right thing: You’ll do work with purpose in a place where you can be yourself, grow professionally and personally, and make an impact that underpins the public interest and confidence in financial reporting.

How will I develop?

You’ll receive a comprehensive induction and training plan. And we’ll assign you a buddy, so you’ll always have a friendly face to turn to. There are regular check-ins with the wider team, who’ll support and encourage you every step of the way.

You’ll get to work directly with organisations on projects where your work has a very real and meaningful impact on their success. Being trusted with real responsibility will give you the opportunity to see what you’re capable of. Not only will this look great on your CV, but you’ll learn transferrable skills, knowledge, and expertise.

You will get to develop a broader knowledge in financial instrument valuation, getting a firsthand experience in valuing complex financial derivatives. Alongside that you would understand practical uses of various third party tools including Bloomberg, SuperDerivatives and Refinitiv. There are also additional training sessions available to develop any soft or technical skills that would shape your future career.
