Your role might involve:

• Assessing the design and/or operating effectiveness of a control, process, or function.
• Running audits across a number of interesting processes of an organisation, getting to the heart of their business model, revenue generation process and customer service.
• Designing the future control environment for an organisation.
• Providing recommendations on how a client can improve its risk mitigation activities.

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 family friendly, flexible working here.

How will I develop?

Joining on this programme, you will be joining alongside a large cohort of like-minded colleagues. At the start of your programme you will be part of an induction programme where you will learn a multitude of skills to help you become ready and feel confident working with our clients. You will also receive continued professional development support via your project team, mentoring and your buddy who will be assigned to you.
