Current Vacancies
Overview:
Here at Ward Goodman, we offer a Level 3 apprenticeship moving onto a Level 7 apprenticeship within our Audit department. We want enthusiastic and motivated team players who are looking to start a successful career in accountancy. The apprenticeship will allow you to develop your technical knowledge, through study and training with Kaplan (our training provider), whilst also gaining invaluable practical experience working within the audit team. Kaplan are a national training provider who offer the training for all accounting qualifications. This training is fully funded by Ward Goodman and within this training programme you will be assigned a talent coach to help guide you through the entire apprenticeship process.
Working in Audit is an exciting start to an accountancy career as no week is the same as the last. A financial audit is a legal requirement for companies and charities over a certain size. The primary objective is to provide assurance to all users of the financial statements over the information that is being reported. A secondary objective is to provide advice and improvements to our clients organisation to ensure they can operate as effectively as possible. A lot of our time is spent on site interacting with our clients to ensure we can complete our work to the highest standard for them. You would play an important role within the team helping to ensure work is completed on time and to a high standard for our clients.
You will be supported throughout the apprenticeship by all members of the audit team, and we will provide on-the-job training to support your college studies. All members of the team have either completed or are currently working through the apprenticeship process so have first hand experience to assist you. After some initial basic training, you will be working within a team on client work within your first week of being with us. We believe, with the support of the team around you, this is the best way to learn the initial skills and knowledge to kickstart your accountancy and audit career.
- Minimum 3 A-levels (or equivalent) at grade A to C predicted.
- Minimum 5 GCSEs (or equivalent) with Maths level 7 or above and English level 6 or above
- Be able to work effectively as part of a team.
- Have analytical and problem-solving ability.
- Be proficient in IT - use of software (with training).
- Have high attention to detail.
- Be highly organised.
- Have the ability to communicate in all media.
- Have a high level of integrity and ability to maintain confidentiality.
