Your career
Will I have opportunities to work
abroad?
Many of our clients are international, so
there could be opportunities to work abroad during your time with
the firm. The length of the trips does vary – sometimes for a day
meeting, or sometimes for a project that lasts several months. If
you are interested in working and living abroad, there are
opportunities to do secondments with member firms of the
Grant Thornton International network in
120 countries, including Australia, USA, France and Greece.

What opportunities for personal
development and training do you offer?
As part of your induction we encourage staff
to put together a personal development plan with their line
manager. This is tailored to your individual needs. There are many
options for you, including support to gain additional
qualifications, an e-training portal, opportunities to grow your
technical, management and business skills – either on the job or on
a more structured training programme at our dedicated residential
training centre. You should receive an annual appraisal with your
line manager, which gives you useful feedback and helps you make
the most of the various training and development options on
offer.
Our culture and our structure mean you can
make your mark and progress to senior positions quickly. You'll
have opportunities to work on secondment with specialist teams to
broaden your skills and experience, stretching yourself as far as
you'd like to go. If you have the potential and appetite for
accelerated development, you will be given help and support at our
development centres to uncover and develop skills that could take
you to the highest positions in the firm.

How will you track my
progress?
The key tool used to track how people are doing is our annual
appraisal. Your performance will be measured against your
individual business and personal objectives. There is the
opportunity to have an interim appraisal to refresh your objectives
and get further feedback.
We encourage an open culture whereby people
give each other feedback as and when they work with each other.
Other tools that can support you in understanding how well you are
doing include client feedback surveys and 360 degree feedback. You
can also use reporting tools such as our timesheet database, which
allows you to keep track of your hours and what you have been
working on.
Have I got to travel to develop my career?
Depending on the nature of your job, you may need to work at client
sites from time to time. However, with offices all over the UK
we're usually located close to our clients, so working away from
home can be managed according to your needs. We would recommend
that you ask this question in your interview as some roles require
no travel whereas others require more.
Working at Grant Thornton
What are the rewards and
benefits?
We believe a rewards package should not only attract, develop
and retain the best people but motivate them to do their best work.
While we offer a competitive salary, we also appreciate everyone is
different – which is why we provide a flexible benefits package
that can be tailored to your individual needs.
In terms of holiday, you'll start with a
minimum of 22 days leave plus bank holidays, which rises to a
maximum of 27 days plus bank holidays as you move up the career
ladder. You can also buy an additional 10 days if your contractual
allowance is not enough. Visit our rewards and benefits page for
more information.
How many hours a week will I
work?
Normal office hours are 9.00 am to 5.30 pm Monday to Friday,
although we appreciate that every week is different and varies
according to the engagement you're working on. Our teams plan and
manage their work together to make sure everybody's personal
preferences are accommodated wherever possible.
We are committed to helping you succeed
personally and professionally. So, where required, we’ll work with
you to agree ways of flexible working that meet your individual
needs as well as those of our business, clients and teams.
