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 work spaces 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.

How will I develop?

We will support you in achieving a professional qualification under the Chartered Governance Qualifying Programme with the Chartered Governance Institute (formerly the Institute of Chartered Secretaries and Administrators).

This is a widely recognised qualification for governance professionals and company secretaries, with no prior qualifications required to start. It takes around two years to complete and is considered equivalent to a postgraduate level qualification. You will study areas such as company law, corporate governance, compliance, and risk – building the expertise needed to take on governance roles with real responsibility in professional services and beyond.
