Deadline day is 10th January School leavers seeking a career in accountancy have until 10th January to apply to be part of the 2019 intake into the renowned training programme of one of the region’s leading firms. Chartered accountants and financial planners Lovewell Blake recruits up to 20 school leavers and college leavers each year, with all embarking on professional qualifications or apprenticeships from day one. Applications from those in their final year at school or college to join the firm this summer close on 10th January. Those joining from school and college on apprenticeships start the Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT). Once they have achieved that qualification, they progress onto either the Association of Chartered Accountants (ACA) or Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA) qualifications. In 2018 Lovewell Blake was, for the second year running, the only Norfolk employer to be named in the Top 100 UK employers for School and College Leavers. In a list which was dominated by big national firms, Lovewell Blake was ranked 43rd in the UK – and the 8th best employer in the UK in the accounting and professional services category “Our training programme has an excellent reputation and track record for launching the careers of young people, and we are once again seeking the very best school leavers for our 2019 intake,” said Lovewell Blake HR consultant Vicky Webber. “We work very closely with schools and colleges in the region to encourage young people to enter the profession, and to ensure that we attract the pick of the crop each year. The deadline for applications is fast approaching to be part of the programme from this summer.” School leavers interested in applying for Lovewell Blake’s 2019 intake can find further details on our careers page. The closing date for applications is 10 January 2018, with an assessment centre to be held in the February half-term.
