About you

So-Mobile Talent in Professional Services

We welcome applications from all and in line with our commitment to improve access to our profession we particularly encourage those from underrepresented groups such as those who:

• attended state school or college, and
• The occupation of your main household earner when you were aged 14 is categorised as coming from a lower socio-economic background, or
• Whilst at school you were eligible for free school meals (or you attended a school with ‘above regional average' free school meals), or
• Your immediate family did not attend university.

We are looking for exceptional individuals who are ambitious and:

• Studying at a UK university.
• In the first year of a three-year undergraduate degree or in your second year of a four-year degree.

• Curiosity and eagerness to learn more about the professional services industry.
• Commitment to self-development & learning. 
• Affinity with our values; in particular, respect for individuals, diversity, and integrity. 

Strong academic performance is important; however, we understand that things don't always go to plan. Our recruitment process looks at your whole self – academic achievements as well as other experiences in which you have grown and developed.

We do not provide sponsorship for our insight programmes. However, you can apply if you are studying at a UK based university and hold a valid Student Visa for the duration of the insight programme.
