Our Return To Work programme supports those who have taken a career break of 18 months or more (including career breaks of 10+ years) and wish to return to the workforce. Our next round of applications will open in April 1st 2025, ahead of a start date of September 2025.
We are proud to support returners to the workplace though this bespoke, structured and supportive programme. If you have taken a career break and would like to apply for our Return to Work opportunities applications will open on April 1st and will close on Friday May 16th.
Our Return to Work programme provides individuals who have taken a career break of 18+ months (including career breaks of 10+ years) the opportunity to join Deloitte through a structured and supportive nine-month placement. At the end of the programme, we hope to offer successful participants permanent roles with the firm.
The programme involves hybrid working in line with our Deloitte Works policy. We are open to various flexible working arrangements, including part-time options, which may help a transition back to work. Options are dependent on the role but can be discussed both during the interview stage, during, and after the 9-month placement.
We offer ongoing coaching, mentoring, and learning opportunities to support our returners to re-launch their careers successfully.
There is a pressing need in Ireland to lower the personal and recruitment barriers which prevent skilled and experienced professionals who have taken long career breaks from returning to the workforce. The career break penalty creates a neglected talent pool which could fill skills gaps and increase diversity in the Irish workforce

Sometimes, women feel as though they have to pretend that their children don’t exist and that they can soldier on with their work commitments regardless. So, it was reassuring when one of the partners said: ‘Elaine, we’re aware you have a family. That’s important to you — and it’s important to us’.
