What does this team do?
The Quality, Risk & Security (QRS) team makes sure Deloitte operates with honesty and integrity. We build and manage systems to control risk, prevent financial crime (like money laundering), avoid conflicts of interest with our clients, and stay independent from them. We also ensure we follow all the rules and keep our people safe. We're responsible for making sure Deloitte can continue its work by meeting all legal and regulatory requirements.

Where will I work?
At Deloitte we recognise how important face-to-face interaction is for your development in a new role. We also understand that our people need flexibility, which is why we operate a hybrid system, with a combination of office and home working. If you’re in a client-facing role, you might be expected to attend client sites on certain days, while your meetings will be a mix of online and in-person events. Please note your final assessment and induction will also be in-person, to give you the opportunity to network and build relationships.
All our work spaces are accessible, however, if you require further flexibility due to a health condition or caring responsibilities, please discuss this with our team. You can find further information on our parent and carer policies here.
