Job Description
Real responsibility. Real impact. Right from the start. Tax professionals are analysts, advisers and forward‑thinkers. They stay ahead of constantly evolving tax changes, helping businesses adapt, stay compliant and make informed decisions. Our tax teams don't just respond to change; they help shape the way organisations move forward while keeping them informed every step of the way.
When you join our tax service line, you'll be driven by curiosity — keen to understand the challenges our clients face and help them navigate what's right for their business. You'll tackle complex problems, grow through hands‑on experience and be supported every step of the way. At Grant Thornton, we're looking for actively curious, purposefully driven and candid but kind individuals who want to shape the future of business, not follow it.
We offer a 12‑month placement programme as your springboard into the world of business – offering hands‑on experience, real responsibility and a chance to see the impact of your work as you build skills for your final year and future career.
What you'll do
* Work with a variety of clients, from household names to innovative start‑ups, gaining exposure to different industries and challenges.
* Get involved from day one, contributing to real tax projects – not just observing – and making a meaningful impact early on.
* Take on responsibility quickly, owning tasks that stretch your thinking and build your confidence.
* Collaborate with experienced colleagues, breaking down complex tax changes and turning them into clear, practical advice for clients.
* Support clients through UK and international tax rules, from compliance and planning to structuring and risk management.
* Learn every day on the job, with guidance from mentors and a structured training programme to build your technical, digital and professional skills.
Who we're looking for
* Curious minds who explore ideas and ask thoughtful questions.
* Innovative problem solvers with a sharp eye for data and detail.
* Collaborative partners who work respectfully and build trust with others.
* Effective communicators who listen, adapt and express ideas clearly.
* Self‑leaders who manage and flex their time, mindset and energy effectively.
* Career‑minded contributors who take initiative and are motivated to grow.
What you'll get
* Kickstart your career with a placement year designed to give you real‑world experience from day one.
* Technology to support your learning and client work.
* Dedicated support network, from experienced managers and mentors who’ll guide you every step of the way.
* An approach to work that helps you balance life, learning and work.
* Exclusive discounts on shopping, gyms and wellbeing services.
* Opportunities to give back through mentoring, volunteering or fundraising initiatives.
* Competitive salary and benefits package, including:
o Extra holiday options (including flexible bank holidays and the option to purchase additional holidays)
o Life assurance
o Private medical insurance
