Quality, Risk and Security (QRS) are expanding their team of highly skilled professionals. This is a growing department that provides expert guidance to enable the firm to grow with purpose, protect and enhance our reputation and brand with quality at the core, and to deliver value.
This is an entry level role with no prior quality and risk experience required - you’ll need to have exceptional attention to detail, be highly organised, have strong communication skills, and have the ability to work under pressure within a fast-paced, dynamic environment.
We are part of a national department, operating primarily out of our Cardiff office, and form a division of both the firm’s Quality, Risk & Security (QRS) function as well as being a part of the overall Central Business Services team.

We encourage consideration of flexible ways of working, both formal and informal arrangements that allow for the best outcomes for our people and our clients. If this opportunity is of interest to you with some flexibility, please do discuss with us.
This role offers the opportunity to work in a challenging yet rewarding environment within QRS Services in Cardiff, utilising your analytical skills to ensure the firms compliance with underlying regulations, whilst enabling client-facing teams to devote more of their time to providing services to their clients. Additionally, individuals who demonstrate sufficient capacity and commitment in their primary roles might be given the opportunity to contribute to other projects, thus aiding their personal development.
Specific responsibilities include:

- An attention to detail to maintain high professional standards with a focus on quality and confidentiality

- Ability to be flexible and multi-task. This is a dynamic role and you’ll be working on multiple, often complex, cases at the same time. Tight deadlines cannot phase you
- Ability to manage and adapt to regular changes
Desirable:
- A good level of IT user ability, including database entry, and a working knowledge of Microsoft Office software. Training time will be allowed for adaptation to in-house IT tools

Connect to your business - Enabling Functions
Collaboration is central to everything we do at Deloitte. Bringing your individual skills and experience, and sharing your specialist knowledge, is how you’ll make a far-reaching impact. Come join us.
Personal independence
Regulation and controls are standard practice in our industry and Deloitte is no exception. These controls provide important legal protection for both you and the firm. We are subject to a number of audit regulations, one of which requires that certain colleagues abide by specific personal independence constraints. This can mean that you and your "Immediate Family Members" are not permitted to hold certain financial interests (shares, funds, bonds etc.) with audit clients of the firm. The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process.

Your Work, Your Way: We call our hybrid working vision Deloitte Works. And it does, with a combination of working from home and office presence. We trust you to make the right choices around where, when and how you work but there is an expectation that greater office presence will be required in the first 6-8 weeks for training purposes and subsequently for team meetings, collaboration and onward learning, which in most teams works out to be at least once a week.
For the majority of time, you’ll be able to make decisions about how you work best, to be collaborative, learn from colleagues, share your experiences, build the relationships that will fuel your career and prioritise your wellbeing. Having great conversations with your team and your leadership paves the way for great collaborative ways of working.
Our hybrid-working model enables our people to collaborate, connect and innovate in both a virtual and physical capacity.
