EARLY CAREERS OPPORTUNITIES IN ENABLING FUNCTIONS

Deloitte is helping businesses to shape the world. In Enabling Functions we support our colleagues to do that well, so the firm can continue to make a positive impact for clients and wider society. Join us to work across a wide range of different areas.

Is Enabling Functions right for you?

Do you love working with people? Or perhaps you enjoy researching things? We have lots of teams in Enabling Functions, so there’s a role to suit everyone’s skills and interests. From supporting senior leaders to improving cyber security, the opportunities are diverse. If you enjoy learning in a practical way, a career with us could be the right path for you.

Career options

Tax at Deloitte is a far cry from tax at other firms. Here, it’s all about working closely with colleagues who are at the top of their game, across different areas. We have opportunities for school leavers available in our Centre of Excellence (COE) for Equity & Incentives (E&I). Equity means the value of shares in a company and incentives are a form of motivation that companies use to attract and retain employees within their business. The Centre of Excellence supports our wider tax and legal team, by advising companies on their equity and incentive plans.

Some of the tasks you might be involved with include monitoring websites to check for any tax or legal changes that could affect share plans, supporting the creation of publications with updated information, or managing project administration. We’re looking for people who are organised, dedicated and keen to learn, but we don’t expect you to have lots of knowledge from the outset. Training will be provided to develop and grow your technical skills, so that you can start helping to deliver services more efficiently now and in the future. You’ll meet a mix of diverse people, all working together to deliver the best advice, and you’ll discover a structured programme that will help you develop even greater expertise.

Engagement Support Services (ESS) help our teams at Deloitte with a wide range of administrative tasks. From Audit and Risk Advisory to Tax, Financial Advisory and more, we work to support several different areas of the business. We’re looking for people with good planning and communication skills who are keen to learn and grow in an exciting new role. If you’re a proactive thinker and you enjoy building relationships with people, this could be the team for you.

You’ll be doing a wide range of tasks, from supporting with reports to researching companies and helping out with invoicing, planning and budgeting for our different team within Deloitte. We have a big focus on personal development, and we will help to support you to reach your personal goals through regular check ins, dedicated career sessions and our mentoring initiative.

If you enjoy helping others then our Leadership Support Centre (LSC) in Cardiff could be right for you. This is an opportunity to join a new and dynamic team who work to support the senior leaders across Deloitte. You’ll be helping these senior leaders to do their jobs as well as possible, by supporting them with administrative tasks. For example, planning their diaries and helping them to organise travel when needed.

The role will be of interest to those who have a positive attitude, willingness to learn and good organisational skills. Resilience, and integrity, and the ability to use your own initiative to resolve problems quickly will be key to success in this role. You’ll be given plenty of support and training along the way, and you’ll be working in a friendly and diverse team.

Our Quality Risk and Security (QRS) team helps to manage risks within the business. For example, before agreeing to work with a company, Deloitte needs to be sure that there are no risks to our firm and our team would help to establish this. We also address conflicts of interest with potential clients, so that we can maintain our independence from them and ensure money laundering isn’t a risk. We have Entry Level Apprenticeships in Cardiff and BrightStart Apprenticeships available in London and Cardiff.

Depending on which team you join within QRS Services, day to day tasks could include conducting research on companies who wish to work with Deloitte, reviewing Deloitte’s regulatory requirements, monitoring how we store our data to ensure we are safe from any security breaches, and speaking to client-facing teams to ensure the relationship with our clients is being managed correctly.

We’re looking for ambitious school leavers who are keen to learn and develop an interesting career that they can make their own. An apprenticeship here enables you to experience lots of different areas of risk and security within the business, so that you can make an informed decision about your future career. This scheme is a rotational programme, with time spent gaining experience and understanding of key areas within our business. These can include: 

  • Financial Crime: You will learn how to risk assess clients and help make key decisions around client take-on and anti-money laundering requirements. 
  • Personal and Firm Independence: You will learn about the regulatory requirements we have as an audit business when it comes to Independence, and work with the team to ensure we, and our people, comply with these. 
  • Deloitte Business and Security (DBS): Working with our DBS teams, you will help protect our business from security threats. You will learn about cybersecurity, data protection, crisis management, physical security, vetting and much more. 
  • Strategy and Operations: Our Strategy and Operations team is headed by our CFO. You will work with this team and learn how they make key decisions around our operations. 
  • Contentious Matters: Our in-house legal team is key to protecting us. You’ll work with our lawyers to understand more about the legal side to risk.  
  • Service Line rotation: You may get the opportunity to work with one of our service lines and get a taste of what it’s like to work with clients directly.   

Our audit teams play an important role in checking company accounts, which helps to protect the public interest. We’ve created a Centre of Excellence in Newcastle (SACC) to support our internal audit teams throughout the UK. The team provides remote support to all our Deloitte colleagues who engage directly with businesses, to help them in completing administrative tasks associated with the audit of accounts.

It involves working closely with your colleagues and will help you to develop an understanding of company accounts and why they’re so important to get right. Roles are available for entry level apprentices who are leaving school. You will be completing your Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT) Level 4 apprenticeship whilst working in our team and become a subject matter expert in company accounts. As part of this, you will attend college to study AAT level 4 with your peers. As well as formal and informal on-the-job training, you’ll have a supportive team around you to guide you through your career at Deloitte.

Graduate Scheme

 

The Technology and Digital Services (TDS) team is at the centre of managing our technology platforms, tools and services for Deloitte. We provide advice for all technology needs, to support better ways of working. From managing our IT, to improving cyber security and developing innovative digital platforms, our approach is to build and maintain resilient, sustainable, secure solutions for our colleagues.

Our security teams manage all the aspects of security for the firm, from secure design to manging project risk and data breaches, as well as compliance and assurance, protective security, travel security, privacy and confidentiality, and security operations.

APPLICATION OPENING AND CLOSING DATES

We have lots of roles available within different business areas at Deloitte, with different opening and closing dates for applications, depending on the programmes and locations. However, we do close applications early when we get a very high volume of submissions, so we recommend applying as early as possible.
