The Opportunity

Working closely with senior technical leaders and the Learning & Development team, you'll help design, develop and deliver high-quality technical training, support complex technical queries, and contribute to the firm's ongoing commitment to audit quality and continuous improvement.

This is a varied position offering genuine career progression, exposure to senior stakeholders, and the opportunity to influence technical standards across the business.

• Assist with the firm's technical helpdesk, responding to complex accounting and audit queries
• Develop and deliver engaging technical training programmes for qualified staff and trainees
• Create and maintain high-quality training materials, technical guidance and learning resources
• Support national technical events, conferences and Director/RI technical sessions
• Work alongside the Learning & Development team to coordinate CPD programmes and monitor compliance
• Prepare technical updates and firmwide communications covering changes in accounting, audit and regulation
• Contribute to the continuous enhancement of audit methodology, training and technical resources

About You

We're keen to speak with qualified accountants who have a strong technical audit background and a passion for developing others.

You’ll ideally have:

• ACA, ACCA or equivalent professional qualification
• Strong technical knowledge of UK GAAP, IFRS, ISA (UK) and the FRC Ethical Standard
• Practical audit experience gained within an accountancy practice
• Excellent communication and presentation skills
• Experience preparing or delivering technical training (desirable)
• An interest in audit innovation, technology and continuous improvement
• The ability to explain complex technical matters in a clear and practical way

Why Apply?

• Move into a highly respected national technical role
• Influence audit quality across the firm
• Deliver training to professionals from trainee to Partner level
• Hybrid and flexible working
• Genuine long-term career progression
• Collaborative, supportive and inclusive culture
• Opportunity to work with senior technical specialists across the business
