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 and 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.
What skills and academic qualifications do I need?
This programme is for university students who are doing well academically and want to test their skills in the real world.
You’ll be on track to achieve a predicted degree classification of 2:1 or above in any discipline and you must be in the penultimate year of your course.
We’re looking especially for those who are fascinated by business and can’t wait to get stuck into complex projects that make a real difference.
What kind of work will I do?
For 12 months you’ll play a key part in our business – training and working alongside our first-year graduates. You’ll do real work from day one, using what you’ve learnt at university to help solve complex problems. You’ll help us push boundaries and learn skills that will set you up for an exciting career.
Our Audit business has two core areas.
- Large & Complex Audit which includes listed companies (corporate and financial services) their subsidiaries in the UK and internationally, as well as other public interest companies such as banks, insurers, large private companies, and public sector organisations.
- Portfolio Audit across many 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.
The work we do is wide-ranging, and no two days are ever the same. Working alongside some of the most talented professionals, you’ll learn to understand corporate language, and assess business processes, systems, controls and reports. This enables organisations across every sector to be transparent about what they do, build stronger systems of quality control, increase their capability to manage risk and, most crucially, increase public confidence.
**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 work spaces 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 **
**What’s in it for me? **
You will be joining a world-class placement scheme at Deloitte, in a full-time role with a market-leading salary, benefits and endless opportunities. You’ll get a real feel for who we are and if we’re the right fit for your future. You may get the opportunity to complete the programme with a Graduate job offer for September 2026. (This will depend on performance and availability and would be for the same office and business area as your Industrial Placement programme, so please apply in line with your preferences). All of which is driven by our shared sense of purpose:
- We challenge and we rise to the challenge: We want our people to achieve their potential and are committed to making that happen. We offer you an outstanding training scheme, the opportunity to obtain an internationally renowned professional qualification and ongoing investment in your development.
- We include everyone: We are a diverse group of people of the highest calibre and our inclusive culture means everyone’s voice is heard. You‘ll learn from them every day, work in a friendly and supportive team environment, make friends for life, and develop a broad professional network that will serve you well, no matter where your career takes you.
- We do the right thing: We believe our people are at their best when they connect their work to a greater cause. At Deloitte, you’ll find a place where you can be your true self, thrive professionally and personally, and make a shared impact that reaches further and means more.
How will I develop?
You’ll receive a comprehensive induction and training plan. And we’ll assign you a buddy, so you’ll always have a friendly face to turn to. There are regular check-ins with the wider team, who’ll support and encourage you every step of the way.
Depending on your placement location, you may have the opportunity to complete some professional exams which will expand your knowledge in Accounting and Assurance. We will cover the cost of all mandated courses, permitted exam attempts and membership fees required for your Professional Qualification. We will also provide a specified amount of paid study leave to undertake the exams required.
We’ll make sure you get to work directly on projects where your work has a very real and meaningful impact. Being trusted with real responsibility will give you the opportunity to see what you’re capable of. Not only will this look great on your CV, but you’ll learn transferrable skills, knowledge, and expertise.
If things go well, you might even be offered a position on our Graduate Programme. Offers are made based on the placement location, so we encourage you to think carefully about where you want to start your graduate career at Deloitte when applying.
Our commitment to you

Because it’s only when you’re comfortable and at your best that you can make the kind of impact you, and we, live for.
Your expertise is our capability, so we’ll make sure it never stops growing. Whether it’s from the complex work you do, or the people you collaborate with, you’ll learn every day. Through world-class development, you’ll gain invaluable technical and personal skills. Whatever your level, you’ll learn how to lead.
