Lovewell Blake, which was the only East Anglian-based employer to feature in the Top 20 of the government’s official ‘Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers’ List for 2022, plus a Gold standard Best Employer in the Eastern region, will offer a paid year-long placement for students looking to spend a ‘sandwich’ year working in the profession.
The role will be hands-on, with interns working as part of a team in the firm’s Corporate Services Group and booked to client jobs. They are open to applicants with a local connection to East Anglia, either because they are studying in or originate from the region.
“We are very excited to be expanding our nationally-recognised trainee schemes to include these two new opportunities,” said Ed Bott, talent and employer brand co-ordinator at the firm.
“These placements will be ideal for those wanting to get real experience in the profession, giving them a hands-on opportunity to find out what accountancy is really about – as well as starting to build connections with a leading regional firm.
“The idea is that the internships will be absolutely immersive – this is not about adopting an invisible role in an office backroom, but getting out there and experiencing real client work.”
The first year-long placement will run from September 2024 until July 2025. Our careers page has information about all of our recruitment opportunities.
