What can you expect?

RSM’s school leaver apprenticeship in Restructuring Advisory offers top quality career development. The depth of services and clients you’ll be exposed to will help you kick-start your career. You could be working with a wide variety of organisations, including large listed financial institutions, national retail chains, and well known companies, as well as some of our international clients that operate throughout the UK and beyond.

At RSM, you’ll be a key member of our team from day one. You’ll get involved in client work very quickly, initially working as part of a larger team before taking on individual responsibility for projects. Once you’ve completed your initial professional qualifications, the complexity of your workload will increase, and you’ll have the opportunity to take on more individual responsibilities and get involved in more challenging issues. With us, you’ll have the space to grow and be challenged.

Alongside hands-on experience, you’ll benefit from on-the-job training from more senior members of the team and gain access to our internal training courses that will help you develop in the role. With our support, you’ll become a true trusted adviser to your clients in the future.

What we look for

We’re on the lookout for enthusiastic self-starters who are always up for a challenge. Corporate Simplification is a technically demanding discipline which also requires practical problem-solving skills, so we look for students who are quick to grasp new subjects. It’s important to have an inquisitive mind and pay close attention to detail. You’ll often need to review complex legal and technical information; prepare legal documentation and work closely with our clients so you’ll need excellent written and verbal communication skills. We also need you to be proactive and organised as you will be working to strict legal deadlines. What separates us from our competitors is the financial acumen we demonstrate, and we expect that right from the start from our people.

If that sounds like you, we know you’ll enjoy being part of our team.
