The firm offers 2 places annually for the Business Services Placement Year. The scheme runs from the 1 September 2025 – 28 August 2026. We are now taking applications for our September 2024 intake.
What do we look for?
You will need to demonstrate a genuine interest and passion for business services. We welcome those from a wide variety of disciplines and all degree backgrounds. Candidates should be self-motivated and demonstrate their ability to get involved in a wide range of extracurricular activities outside studies, showing a good level of achievement in all areas. We value communication skills and look for evidence that you’ve worked in teams and taken on responsibility. We also want to get a sense of your enthusiasm, energy and commitment.
During your placement you will have the opportunity to spend time in four, three-month seats – with IT and DE&I being split into 6 week rotations. The firm encourages individuals to work across departments, so you may find that whilst you are working in one group, you undertake work in a variety of different areas throughout the firm to include HR, Accounts, Marketing, DE&I and Marketing. You will receive continuous support from your managers for the duration of the placement. You will also be given the opportunity to continue your development with 24/7 access to our e-learning system.
Application Process
We review all applications we receive after the deadline, and seek out individuals who can demonstrate insight into their experiences. Candidates will attend an assessment and interview with the Director of Administration, Managing Partner and a HR representative. The offer of a placement is conditional upon the provision of satisfactory references.
We are excited to announce our partnership with UpReach to integrate RealRating into our application process. RealRating is an innovative tool that provides additional context to applicants' academic achievements by taking into account their socio-economic background. This helps us to better understand each candidate's potential and performance, ensuring a more inclusive and equitable recruitment process.
