If university isn’t for you, we offer Ignite, a five-year accountancy apprenticeship leading to a Level 7 Master’s qualification. Whichever business area you are selected for, you’ll be rewarded with real life experience working with interesting and varied clients. Hazlewoods is proud to have developed sector-specialist teams in varied industries from vets and pharmacies to farmers and dentists!
Being an accountant isn’t about simple ‘number-crunching’, we are looking for people who can think creatively, are great communicators and who enjoy developing strong relationships with their team as well as our clients.
In return, we will offer you a rewarding and supportive environment in which to work and study. Having a designated manager and buddy, you will always have someone to talk to. To unwind, we offer an exciting programme of social events including an all-staff Christmas party alongside numerous charity events. Your mental health and wellbeing are also a priority – we have Mental Health First-Aiders and events throughout the year supporting staff wellness such as free massage sessions.
We are delighted to offer opportunities across many areas of the business and work with you to match your skills and preferences with the right team.
