Risk and Controls Consulting Summer Vacation Scheme 2027 - Internal Audit & Change - Manchester

What does this team do?

Through day-to-day engagement with our clients, we are able to work with senior leaders across a range of disciplines and understand the inner workings, challenges and opportunities faced by our clients.

We are looking for people who are team players and effective communicators. In our team you’ll learn the technical skills you need to deliver great work for clients, and a deep insight into lots of different industries.

• This programme is for university students who are doing well academically and want to test their skills in the real world.
• You must be in the penultimate year of your course, or going onto a Masters, and you need to be on track to achieve a predicted degree classification of 2:1 or above in any discipline.

What kind of work will I do?

Your role might involve:

• Assessing the design and/or operating effectiveness of a control, process, or function.
• Running audits across a number of interesting processes of an organisation, getting to the heart of their business model, revenue generation process and customer service.
• Designing the future control environment for an organisation.

Where will I work?

At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.

All our workspaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our family friendly, flexible working here.

How will I develop?

Joining on this programme, you will be joining alongside a large cohort of like-minded colleagues. At the start of your programme you will be part of an induction programme where you will learn a multitude of skills to help you become ready and feel confident working with our clients. You will also receive continued professional development support via your project team, mentoring and your buddy who will be assigned to you.

Visa Sponsorship:

We’re unable to provide sponsorship for this role. If you are currently on a student visa and would require Skilled Worker sponsorship to join Deloitte after graduation, we’re unable to accept your application, as the salary for the Graduate conversion role in this location does not currently meet the minimum threshold required under the Immigration Rules for Skilled Worker visa sponsorship. Please apply instead for a Summer Vacation Scheme in London, Aberdeen, Bristol, Cambridge, Reading, Gatwick or Southampton, where available. In these locations, the Graduate conversion roles meet the relevant salary threshold, and we are able to sponsor Skilled Worker visas. You can only join our Summer Vacation Scheme if our dates coincide with your university summer vacation.
