Where could you be based?
Our Accountancy Pathway opportunities are based in Norwich or York: all buzzing places in which to launch your career. It’s important that you live within commuting distance of the office where the role is based, or be willing to relocate prior to start date as you’ll need to spend time with your team in person, as well as virtually, working from home. Three days in the office and two days from home is typical, but this will vary between teams.
