BrightStart Apprenticeship, Audit & Assurance, Guernsey

Job description What does this team do?

Audit has a really important role in society, helping to protect the public interest. Accurate financial and corporate reporting is essential for businesses. It means that we are able to hold companies to account, maintain financial stability in the country and protect the consumers who rely on those businesses.

Our team provides independent auditor reports, looking at both the truth and fairness of organisations' annual financial statements.

We want everyone who joins to feel good about their role, and, as a high-profile audit firm, it's important for us to achieve a consistent and widely recognised standard of excellence in the quality of our audit work.

The landscape for audit reporting is changing fast and our work continues to evolve. More and more, we're using intelligent machines to automate and standardise processes, so focus can go on delivering a quality product for businesses. Enabling you to enjoy real responsibility early in your career.

Our offices in Jersey, Guernsey and the Isle of Man offer something unique; the opportunity to work for a Big Four firm whilst living in a beautiful island setting. Each island has a distinctive atmosphere with vibrant communities and a wide variety of outdoor pursuits on offer. Working in the islands presents the career opportunities found in large cities but with the benefit of short commutes and being able to take full advantage of the temperate climate as well as proximity to the sea, beautiful landscapes and nature.

Our offices may be smaller than some (c.200 colleagues across the three islands) but this doesn't mean our clients are. The Channel Islands & Isle of Man are home to diverse and thriving financial markets giving you the opportunity to work with high profile, prestigious clients.

We work with organisations of all sizes; from rapidly growing local companies to international private equity and real estate businesses with a global reach. Our broad range of clients means that no day in our Islands' Audit practice is ever the same.

Our close-knit office community encourages plenty of hands-on experience and the chance to work closely with senior colleagues who invest in your development and career progression from day one.

You'll need to have obtained or be studying towards at least 104 UCAS points (260 UCAS points pre-2017) for your A levels (or equivalent) to be eligible for this programme.

People from a wide range of backgrounds can thrive on our inclusive Bright Start Apprenticeship programme. It's a rewarding leap into the world of professional services that allows you to gain real-world experience while being paid to learn and progress.

By joining us you'll have the chance to work directly with major organisations, as well as building your skills through our excellent training programme. You'll deliver quality services that make a real difference to our society.

Early on in your career you'll be given responsibility for developing people and managing teams, supported by us every step of the way. You'll get involved with different organisations, helping you to understand how they operate and learning about the economic and industry issues that matter to them. You'll have the opportunity to think creatively and work together to solve problems.

Alongside this you'll be learning critical skills to quickly adapt and use technology to help future proof your career.

Our Audit business has two core areas.

• which includes listed companies (corporate and financial services), their subsidiaries in the UK and internationally, as well as other public interest entities such as banks, insurers, large private companies and public sector organisations.
• which spans a wide range of sectors including private corporates, real estate funds, pension schemes, financial services brokers and investment managers. Portfolio business offers the opportunity to work with privately owned, dynamic, entrepreneurial and high growth businesses.

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.
