Join us to make your careers your own – start now

Our higher apprenticeship programme offers an exciting opportunity to work in a busy office environment whilst studying towards a professional qualification for a two-year programme.

During this time, we commit time to help you build your knowledge, skills and practical experiences, providing genuine development opportunities to enable you to become a future leader. You will initially be responsible for preparing the statutory accounts and tax computations of smaller clients, bookkeeping, payments and in addition to participating in statutory audits as a junior team member. Alongside the day to day duties you will also be studying for a professional qualification, the Advanced Diploma in Accounting (Level 3 AAT).

This qualification is a fantastic platform to start a career in Accountancy. We want you to be curious as to how to help our clients thrive and have the technical expertise to give them the answers, they are looking for from their business advisers. We need joined up thinkers to create solutions to all sorts of puzzles. It’s why we offer you permanent employment from day one – you become part of our long-term solution.

Whether it is investing in a new product and raising finances, or helping families leave their legacies to their future generations or to completing the audit snapshot of the year they have had; our clients value the relationships they have built up with Mercer & Hole. Therefore on joining us, that will become your responsibility too.

There are no limits for our apprentices, you can exceed graduate progress as our track record shows. Once you have completed the programme, you can progress onto further qualifications, for example, a three year ACA qualification to become a Chartered Accountant, or whatever is the best choice for you.

What’s in it for me?

Join us and you will be on a permanent contract from day one. We will give you the opportunity to start to work out what you want from your future, plus a range of benefits to help you through life. This includes, flexible working, a minimum of 23 days holiday – we close at Christmas so you can share the time with family and friends, competitive salary, membership of our pension and life assurance scheme, access to private healthcare, discounted gym membership, employee assistance support for challenging life times, plus there are many more ways we will enhance your time here.

As you grow and develop, you will take increasing ownership of your career. We are interested in learning about how you want to challenge yourself and how we can support you in carving out the career you want as your focus becomes clearer over time.

We want to make you aware that you will need to upload your CV as part of the application process. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with successful candidates completing a telephone interview, online tests and face to face interview. Please do not send your application via email.
