Not only will it offer our people the opportunity to work more flexibly and with little travel required, you will be working with a breadth of nationally based clients from small SMEs to large corporations.

With ever changing technology and digital advancements impacting businesses, PwC has to adapt in order to meet our clients’ needs. Our clients are changing how they work – increasingly working remotely and across multiple locations. The Assurance Competency Centre will play an integral part in how we rise to the challenge - allowing us to improve quality, deliver outstanding value to our clients and create a better experience for our people.

A key focus for this new proposition is supporting the PwC Social mobility agenda, and as such we are looking for people who want to make a real difference by being open minded about who we recruit and deploy on audit work.
