Connect to your Industry
Deloitte LLP is a leading professional services firm employing over 20,000 partners and staff across 23 locations in the UK and generating revenues of over £2.7bn a year. The firm has a large Government and Public Services (G&PS) practice with over 2,500 dedicated partners and staff working across all parts of the public sector including central government, health, education, defence, security and justice, local and regional government and transport.

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.

The recruitment team will provide further detail as you progress through the recruitment process.
