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 parent and carer policies here.

We're committed to providing you with the tools and experiences to accelerate your growth. You'll build your expertise through real-world projects, collaborating with leading experts and tackling complex challenges alongside a supportive and passionate team. We'll accelerate your growth with a comprehensive induction, tailored development opportunities, and mentorship to guide your journey. You'll learn by doing, applying your skills to deliver impactful solutions for some of the world's most prominent organisations. Prior experience working in regulatory compliance is not required, however broad knowledge about current and emerging regulations in the UK and EU would serve you well in this role.
