More than you expected

Grant Thornton UK LLP is part of a global network of independent audit, tax and advisory firms, made up of some 73,000 people in over 150 countries. We're a team of independent thinkers who put quality, inclusion and integrity first. All around the world we bring a different experience to our clients. A better experience. One that delivers the expertise they need in a way that goes beyond. Personal, proactive, and agile. That's Grant Thornton.

Job Description:

Job Title: Assistant Manager, National Grants and Other Assurance Team

Location - Open/National (London/Birmingham/Manchester/Liverpool/Leeds/Bristol)

Position - Permanent

Job Description Summary:

We are seeking managers with experience of local government to join our Grants and Other Assurance national team. Grants Assurance is a specialist team with 30 members across the UK and India. As part of the team, you'll be managing assignments with public bodies, government departments, national services, commercial organisations and not for profit organisations such as Universities.

Let's talk about the job:

Here's a glimpse of what you'll experience with us:

  1. Hands-on experience in the different aspects of Grants Assurance, with a variety of clients, from Local Authorities to multinational companies and Government bodies.
  2. Experience working on all kinds of assurance assignments that range from a few days to up to five weeks, including examining financial records and carrying out audit procedures.
  3. Responsibility and the opportunity to take ownership for interesting and challenging client work.
  4. Develop a strong internal and external network to learn from.
  5. Work closely with colleagues to provide robust challenge and market-leading insights to help clients meet their regulatory needs and business objectives.

The minimum criteria:

  1. Experience of working with local government and/or interest in local government with a desire to develop skills and knowledge.
  2. Experience of delivering complex Housing Benefit assignments over the last 5 years.
  3. Ability to work independently, summarise information from a wide range of sources to draw conclusions, and manage client relationships, including senior officers.

The Grants and Other Assurance team has a national profile, and therefore we are not tied to candidates from a particular region.

Beyond the job

The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you'll be giving back to society. It's that drive to do the right thing that runs through our every move, grounded in our firm's values - purposefully driven, actively curious and candid but kind.

We're looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas and go beyond expectations. People who want to be able to proudly do what's right, for the firm, our clients, our people and themselves. It's how it should be.
