So we can work out which route is best please email traineerecruitment@uk.gt.com , detail your level of experience both in work and for your professional qualification. We’ll then chat to our Early Careers Team and let you know which role we recommend you apply for.

You will need to declare information about any prior professional study relating to Accountancy/Tax/Finance. If you have failed an exam in the qualification you are intending to apply for and not yet passed the resit, please do not apply until the exams have been passed. Several factors will then be considered when reviewing your application. These will include your exam record as a whole and how that aligns with our current exam policy.   

Any employment offers are subject to an applicant providing the necessary right to work documents that demonstrate the right to work and reside legally in the United Kingdom (UK). As an employer we must check that a job applicant is allowed to work in the UK before we can employ them. This means that you’ll be asked to provide evidence of your right to work during the early stages of our application process and you must be able to demonstrate your right to work in the UK for the duration of your employment with us.

To process visa applications for our trainee positions, we must ensure that all our trainee programmes meet the minimum salary criteria as advised by the Home Office. Unfortunately, a number of our programmes and locations do not meet the Home Office salary requirements and therefore we’re unable to accept applications from candidates requiring visa sponsorship for certain positions.

We only welcome one trainee application per year. If you are unsuccessful you will need to re-apply in the following August or September, when we re-launch our application season. Think about the feedback you may have received and how you can develop these areas if reapplying.

Of course. You can apply for an interest free loan of £2,500 if you need it. The most important thing to us is you feel settled and stress-free when you join Grant Thornton, so if there’s anything you’re struggling with, let us know.

There are no minimum requirements for our programmes other than the essentials such as right to work and being eligible for the programme, such as year of study. We take a holistic and balanced approach to assessment and we’re looking for candidates who demonstrate the behaviours were looking for across a range of assessments. This means we don’t form our decision on one assessment, instead we look at your potential across our full assessment process. Academic performance is one part of what we look at, but not the only part of you we consider. We're looking for well-rounded candidates who connect with our brand, values and culture and want to make a difference right from the start. As a trainee you'll be studying for a professional qualification. It's really important that you can balance study, revision and client work. It's going to be a challenging few years but being professionally qualified opens many doors and fast-tracks your career as an associate.

We advise applying as early as you can once applications have opened for the programme you're interested in. We'll fill roles as we go, so the earlier you apply the more chance you've got securing a place in the area and location you want

This will depend on service line. You may be asked to travel to client sites, so you will need to be prepared to be away from home for some periods of time, ranging from a day to several weeks depending on the assignment.

We see exposure to different business areas, sectors, internally or abroad, as part of our trainees’ development, and so support applications to do so. Formal secondments typically happen post-qualification to ensure you have the correct amount of knowledge and experience to pass your exams. We also have relationships with intermediaries such as banks and law firms, as well as with clients, and can also second people to them.

As a member of Grant Thornton International, with more than 56,000 people in over 140 countries we are a truly global organisation. So you’ll have plenty of potential for international exposure as you near qualification and beyond - either through secondments to other member firms or working on assignments abroad.

We encourage all of our applicants to throughly research the location and service line ahead of applying. As standard, we do not offer the opportunity to change your application once it has been submitted.

Grant Thornton pay for all costs associated with your professional qualification including training and exam sittings.
