Overview

Join our Tax Insight programme and learn about working collaboratively with organisations of all shapes and sizes, helping them to navigate complex tax policy landscapes, and stay compliant with regulation by paying the right tax at the right time.

The Social Mobility Talent Insight Programme is aimed at students who come from a lower socio-economic background. It is the perfect opportunity for you to learn more about our business and develop your professional skills.

During your Insight experience, you’ll have the chance to meet inspirational people from our diverse Tax teams and explore our variety of career opportunities available. Over three days you'll network with our colleagues, learn more about what we do and the meaningful difference we make to businesses and the communities we serve.

This programme is open to students who are in their penultimate year of university. This programme has been purposefully designed as a step towards a possible Graduate offer if you’re successful on the programme. This offer would only be for the same location and business area as that you completed your Talent Insight Programme. As such, please ensure you have a commitment to the location and business area that you apply to.

Generally, you’ll be expected to demonstrate the following grades (

If you are a few grades or points short, we would still encourage you to apply, as your application will be reviewed together with your performance in our assessments. You’ll also have the opportunity to provide additional information for us to assess your application and potential in the context of your socio-economic background and/or any extenuating circumstances, which may have a positive uplift on your academic achievements through contextual recruitment.

• Parental occupation socio-economic classification is a national standard, and the Social Mobility Work’s toolkit (found here) provides details on the categorisations.
