THE ROLE

We are looking for a Trainee Tax Assistant to join our growing tax team in Corby. You’ll work alongside a team of experience tax professionals to learn the fundamentals, whilst studying for a relevant tax qualification such as ATT, CTA or others.

This role would suit both full or part-time candidates in line with our family flexible policy.

You’ll receive hands-on training as you work towards becoming a qualified tax accountant. You’ll be assigned mentors who will support and guide you, and you’ll have a structured development programme carefully designed to balance your practical experience with your professional training.
