Job Title: Graduate Trainees (Tax Professionals)

Job description

This is an intensive 3-year programme designed to equip you with both technical (tax) knowledge and the professional skills you will need to apply that knowledge when dealing with your customers.

Stage 1 provides you with a broad foundation of knowledge and skills across different areas of tax.
Stage 2 deepens your tax knowledge and also builds your broader professional skills and other competences that HMRC needs from its future tax professional leaders.

During this time, you will be working towards gaining an externally accredited qualification.

• tutor-led sessions at one of our training centres
• ongoing exams and practical work assessments designed to build up your knowledge of tax law and practice
• regular reviews and appraisals

The programme has a modular structure, each one commonly lasting around 2 or 3 months. You will have to demonstrate your application of acquired knowledge and skills in the workplace and there is often a formal exam at the completion of a module. Your manager will aslo monitor and assess your performance throughout.

You must already have the right to live and work in the UK throughout the period of the scheme. If your right to live and work in the UK will expire before the end of the end of the 3 year training programme you will not be eligible to apply. HMRC does not offer sponsorship to enable employment in the UK.
