Getting started

We realise joining a large firm can be a daunting experience. So from day one, we’ll assign you an HR Adviser and a dedicated Buddy to help you settle in. The induction process will then give you the opportunity to meet a number of people from across our business –and the resources to start a prosperous future.

Your first day will see you taking part in an induction at your local office. On this day, we’ll give you a laptop and introduce you to the various members of your office. We’ll also cover basic office protocols – how things work and what will be expected of you.

After this, you’ll then meet around 200 other trainees from all over the country at our National Trainee Induction. This two-day residential event will usually be held off-site in one of the UK's larger hotels.

Through a series of presentations and interactive sessions, you’ll find out about our strategy, our business plans and what it means to be a trainee at Grant Thornton. Networking sessions at the event will also enable you to mix with your fellow trainees from all over the UK.

Thereafter, you’ll find there are plenty of opportunities to build up informal networks across the company. Whether you’re mixing with fellow trainees at Bradenham Manor, our training centre, or doing a fundraiser at your local office, you’ll be socialising and getting to know your colleagues much better over the coming year.
