Work Experience

RSM is working closely with Access Accountancy and other professional bodies to improve access to the accountancy profession. By working together and committing to measurable outcomes, we hope to deliver real change and welcome talented and ambitious young people to the profession from all backgrounds.

What can you expect?

RSM are offering an exciting hybrid work shadowing programme across Audit, Tax and Consulting for those who have a desire to learn more about the accountancy profession.

This is a fantastic opportunity to find out more about the world of accountancy and to gain a real insight in to the different types of work that we do, how we work as a firm and the opportunities available to you after finishing college/sixth form.

The intended five-day programme will include:

• insight sessions across various departments within the business;
• interactive exercises and/or case studies to help give you a real feel for the kind of work we do;
• networking, personal branding, wellbeing and employability sessions;
• plenty of opportunities to hear from/speak to current trainees;
• hybrid working - you will have the opportunity to work from one of our RSM offices and work from home as part of the programme;
• a two-way debrief and feedback session at the end of the programme.

You will also have your own logbook to complete over the course of the week, where you can record your activities and reflect on the skills and knowledge you have gained.

This hybrid work shadowing programme is open to Year 12 and Year 13 students within the UK, and is scheduled to take place on the 29th July - 2nd August 2024

The successful candidates must be available for the full duration of this week.

What we look for

We're on the lookout for enthusiastic self-starters who are quick to learn and always up for a challenge. We also look for team players who enjoy interacting with others and are curious about how businesses work.

If that sounds like you and you are looking for relevant hands-on work experience, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

Our Recruitment Process

Please note, for those who perform well throughout our assessment process, should your first preference be unavailable, you could potentially be offered a role in another location. This would always be discussed with you in this instance.

Please note that RSM will only take one application into consideration per intake. We do not accept multiple applications to different vacancies, offices or work shadowing programmes.

Entry requirements

At RSM, we don't just look for good exam results. We think passion, personality and originality are just as important. For that reason, there are no entry requirements to apply for this role.

Diversity and Inclusion at RSM
At RSM, we want to create a strong sense of belonging so that people of all identities, backgrounds, and cultures feel they can bring their true self to work. Our clients come from all walks of life. We aim to achieve that same diversity of background, experience and perspective in our own teams, so that we can genuinely understand our client's needs. Diverse teams bring a broader range of ideas and insights to work. That's why we're working together to ensure our firm's principles and processes support a firm culture that embraces difference and strengthens inclusion.
At RSM we work hard to create an environment where our people can make a difference - to themselves, their career, their teams, and to the success of our firm and clients. We support all our people to work flexibly, to manage their family and other responsibilities alongside their work commitments; we believe this is key to achieving an inspiring and fulfilling working environment.]]>
