Public Sector Audit School Leaver Programme (Autumn 2025) - Liverpool
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:
Great minds. Nothing alike.
As an auditor in our Public Sector team, you'll be connecting with the issues that bodies responsible for key public services are facing. You will be providing independent advice so they can confidently do what is right and make the best decisions for the future. The UK public services are facing unprecedented challenges and a constantly evolving landscape that calls for an approach that protects the public purse. You will need to push ideas harder and ask difficult questions, giving our clients the assurance they need and helping them to make a difference to the lives of the population they serve. Public Sector Audit is a specialist team with over 400 members across the UK. As part of the team, you'll be working with public bodies, government departments, and national services, understanding the issues they are facing. During times of rapid change and financial challenge, Public Sector bodies increasingly require assurance over their use of resources and financial accounts. A look into your future
Our five-year apprenticeship programme is designed to take you on a journey from apprentice to professionally qualified. Anyone without a degree can join this programme. If you join us straight after your A-levels, you could qualify up to a year earlier than your peers who go to university. Here's a glimpse of what you'll experience during your first five years: Hands-on experience in the different aspects of audit, with a variety of clients, from NHS trusts to Fire Authorities and Local Councils. Our portfolio of clients includes significant local public bodies, including household names as Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust and the Metropolitan Police. Experience working on projects using state-of-the-art data analytics tools and techniques. Responsibility and the opportunity to take ownership of interesting and challenging client work early in your career. Development of a strong internal and external network to learn from. Required to spend time working at client sites. Working closely with colleagues to provide robust challenge and insights to help clients meet their regulatory needs and business objectives. In your first two years, you will work towards completing the CFAB (Certificate in Finance Accounting and Business), moving on to becoming ACA (Associate Chartered Accountant) or CIPFA (Chartered Institute of Public Finance & Accountancy) qualified over the next three years. Knowing that you're right for us
We're looking for people who will bring ambition and drive to their role. In changing markets, we need to be adaptable and curious, asking questions to ensure we are delivering quality services. We've got a flexible approach to academic entry requirements, and we'll consider these alongside your strengths and motivations. We're looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas, and go beyond expectations. How we work
We have a trust-based way of working at Grant Thornton, driven by responsible people who have the best interests of our firm and our clients at heart. Our teams work between our offices, client sites, and homes. In-person working is important for learning and building relationships. Study
You'll need to be focused, committed, and organised as a trainee to balance your study and work requirements. You will be provided with study leave to help you complete your professional qualification. Knowing we're right for you
The culture at Grant Thornton is what sets us apart. We're known for our inclusive culture and creating environments where all our people can flourish. We're looking for people who align with our values. Beyond the job
Life is more than work. Our framework for how we work outlines our approach to agile working. Everyone here enjoys a competitive salary, and you'll receive core benefits including life assurance, income protection, and private medical cover. You deserve the best start to your career. Come to where you'll learn more and discover exactly what you're capable of. Choose Grant Thornton.
It's how it should be. Before applying, we encourage you to visit our employability hub to get a feel for what it's like to start your career with us.
