What does this team do?

In rapidly-changing times, businesses need to be resilient and ready to face any challenges that are coming their way. They are increasingly having to be more transparent with their reporting, in order to gain trust and confidence with the public. We provide independent Assurance by assessing the risks and processes of an organisation, so that businesses can make sound decisions in this area and serve the public well. Our Assurance team possesses skills and expertise across regulation, reporting, finance, controls, sustainability and AI, with a deep understanding of analytics.

What skills and academic qualifications do I need?

You'll need to have obtained or be studying towards a minimum 2:1 in any degree discipline and have graduated by September 2026 for the Autumn 2026 intake.

What kind of work will I do?

We're offering an excellent four-year programme to give you the opportunity to gain insight into assurance, as we develop professionals of the future.


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. From providing support to small businesses right through to global corporations, the work we do is wide-ranging and no two days are ever the same.


During the programme you will have the opportunity to work in one, or both, of the following Assurance pillars:

Accounting & Reporting Assurance:

The importance of high reporting standards has never been greater. We provide assurance and solutions to meet these increasing demands, as well as emerging business and regulatory needs. This pillar includes the Accounting, Transactions, Treasury, Financial Services Controls and Regulatory teams.

Controls, Sustainability, and Emerging Assurance (C&SEA):

From assessing sustainability data to public scrutiny of reports, the C&SEA pillar is more critical than ever. Teams include Sustainability, Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms, Third Party Assurance, and Client Assets & Safeguarding.


On successful completion of the programme, you'll secure a permanent position within one of these Assurance teams.

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.
