Description
Make your career count

At Price Bailey, we provide exciting opportunities for training, personal growth and career engagement. We believe in fostering happiness and fulfilment in your work, whilst supporting and inspiring you to grow. We understand that your life extends beyond the workplace, which is why our Smart Working culture promotes flexibility, allowing you to choose when and where you work whilst still providing excellent client care.

As a leading firm of chartered accountants and business advisors, we offer a wide range of services, including auditing, accounting, tax and corporate finance. We proudly serve a diverse client base across the UK and internationally, with a strong focus on entrepreneurial owner-managed businesses that share our passion for innovation.

What will I be doing?

As an Outsourcing Trainee on our First Step programme (suitable for recent school / college leavers), you'll experience a wide range of exciting work to include; maintaining the financial records of various businesses across a wide range of industries, working with innovative accounting systems and delivering a value added service to our clients. You'll have plenty of access and interaction with the manager team who will guide you every step of the way, plus a supportive team who will help you develop and hone your skills.

What will I learn?

During your training contract you will study for an AAT qualification through a Level 4 apprenticeship, followed by the ACCA qualification through a Level 7 apprenticeship. This typically takes five years to complete from start to finish. We provide comprehensive study support, including dedicated time off for college and access to a buddy who can offer valuable insights based on their previous experience.

We believe in building a solid foundation for your career, so that's why we provide ongoing training to develop your soft skills. You'll gain hands-on client experience from the start, including direct contact with clients, so in your first year we'll equip you with essential skills like making a positive first impression, mastering effective time management techniques, and enhancing your communication skills.

What experience do I need?

Whilst having the following experience is advantageous, we value passion and potential. If you meet the minimum criteria listed below and are eager to develop yourself, we would love to hear from you:

  • On track to achieve at least a minimum of 112 UCAS points (or equivalent) in your top three A-Levels (minimum requirement).
  • GCSE English Language and Maths (or equivalent) at grade 5 or better (minimum criteria).
  • Proficiency in using Microsoft Office applications.
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills.
  • Demonstrated ability to work effectively as part of a team.
  • Strong MS Excel skills would be beneficial.

What's on offer?

In addition to your salary, we offer the following benefits:

  • 23 days of annual leave plus bank holidays.
  • Bonuses for successfully passing exams.
  • Contributory pension scheme.
  • 4x life assurance.
  • All-employee share scheme.
  • 2 days of paid volunteering leave.
  • Cycle to work scheme.
  • Employee Assistance Programme (EAP), including shopping discounts.

What happens next?

Upon applying, you will be invited to undertake some initial tests (numerical and deductive reasoning) and a pre-recorded video interview, which we take the time to watch personally. You can complete these at your convenience, and you will not be required to finish it all in one sitting.

Successful applicants might then be invited to attend an in-person assessment centre. Someone from our team will be in touch to confirm within four weeks of you completing the tests.

Price Bailey aspires to recruit, develop and retain the most talented people, regardless of their social background, age, disability, sex, sexual orientation, pregnancy and maternity, race or ethnicity, religion or belief, gender identity, or marriage and civil partnership. We are an equal opportunities employer and place inclusion at the heart of what we do. Our workplace is one where diversity is embraced and where everyone is empowered to be their authentic selves.
