There are many benefits of being part of Grant Thornton International, working with a global and diverse team in a virtual setting is just one of them. We pride ourselves on our inclusive culture and believe it's one of our most valuable assets.

We also recognise the importance of time off at Grant Thornton International. Taking time away can lead to improved wellbeing and better productivity, which is why we don’t cap your leave. So if you need to take that extra Friday off (and Monday too), no problem.

We believe work is no longer a location, it is what we do. This should help all of us deliver our best work, while achieving the right balance in our lives. We want to build a culture of virtual inclusivity. One where all our people have the ability to choose what works best for them but also provides our people the best shared working experience utilising the digital tools we have available. GTIL will provide individuals with the necessary support and equipment to work effectively from home. We also have a collaborative space to offer should you prefer working outside of your home.

We will offer you access to digital learning options, as well as external training, should you role and development needs require this.

We fully understand the importance of balancing your life and we aim to support that with remote working and flexibility within your role. We understand the time you spend outside of work helps shape what you bring into work, so we encourage flexibility on both sides. However, if you prefer to work from the office, this is also something we offer.

We also understand the importance of working comfortably in a remote office - most likely your home, which is why we offer all staff a monthly home office allowance to ensure you're well equipped and able to undertake your role to the fullest.

These are just some of the benefits of working at Grant Thornton International. We also have a wide range of attractive core benefits including pension, health insurance, wellbeing programmes and much much more.
