GAP YEAR opportunties with Deloitte

GAP year opportunities

2017/2018

These opportunities are quite different to that offered by the Scholars Scheme and we would like you to appreciate this before you decide whether they may be of

interest to you. These roles would not be guaranteeing a continued relationship with Deloitte beyond your gap year. However, it is still a great opportunity to earn

some money towards your gap year travels, to get some insight into working life and to gain a prominent name to add to your CV.

We are looking for people with the following qualities:

• Experience of using Microsoft Word, Excel and Outlook.

• Strong academic background (GCSE Maths and English Grade B or above)

• Attention to detail and accuracy

• Strong numerical and communication skills

• Comfortable with IT and the ability to pick up new software

• Team player, with the ability to multi-task and work under pressure, ensuring deadlines are met

• Prior knowledge is not essential as appropriate training will be provided.

In order to be considered for this role, you must be available to start work in July 2017, and be able to work through to the end of contract period (9 or 12 months).

What we can offer?

• Good rates of pay

• Valuable work experience within a leading Professional Services firm

• A chance to get a widely respected name on your CV

• A lively and fast paced working environment

Deloitte has a number of opportunities for individuals in their gap year between completing A-Levels and starting

University to work in our Tax Management Consulting Group, located within our Cambridge office.

Tax Management Consulting

The Tax Management Consulting group within Deloitte is a leading provider of services to a wide range of clients in Cambridge and

globally. One of the key service offerings is the preparation of iXBRL tagged accounts.

The role we are recruiting for involves primarily tagging statutory accounts for the purpose of corporation tax filings. The task will involve

performing the initial tagging exercise using specially developed software, and clearing any subsequent review that comes from it. To

apply please send your CV and covering letter to Jamie Ratibb (see below for contact details).

For students interested in a gap year or work experience in Canada

International Experience Canada (IEC) is a working holiday visa in Canada program. It allows people from many different countries under 35 years of age to work in Canada for a temporary period, of one or two years. Citizens of participating countries can now begin creating their 2016 profile.  The immigration department at the High Commission is hosting an online information session on the ‘International Experience Canada (IEC)’ program. An officer will present and answer questions on IEC; valuable information for young people interested in a gap year in Canada.
