Work Experience

While we appreciate that workplace experience is the best way to kick-start your career, regrettably due to data protection and client confidentially, something we take very seriously, we are unable to offer any form of work experience, vacation schemes, seasonal or voluntary placements at any of our offices.

Why should you work with us?

Our 230 staff are employed across our East Midlands offices, with the most at our Derby head office. We pride ourselves on our straight-forward, jargon free approach when dealing with clients and their cases and this approach also defines our workplace culture which is welcoming, friendly and committed to excellence. We have been recognised for our commitment to developing and supporting our staff. In fact, from the initial induction into the business, every member of staff embarks on a personal development plan with the aim of helping them to reach their full potential.

With plenty of opportunity for growth, Smith Partnership is an exciting and dynamic place to work.

I have always found Smith Partnership a diverse and inclusive place to work for all ages, I am 21 years old and have been given the opportunity to complete a 3 year management apprenticeship, to study through the firm accompanying my current job. My team are very supportive and push me to excel and grow.

Support for home and work life balance is excellent, resulting in people feeling well supported and helped to balance their home and work lives. People felt valued and ‘you’re not just a number here’. Many people felt the firm was like a family and many stated they looked forward to coming to work.

Smith Partnership is a great company to work for. I feel every member of staff, whatever their position within the firm, is approachable and welcoming. I have been with the firm less than 6 months and already feel like a valued member of my team and the company as a whole. My role has given me some great opportunities so far and I feel that will continue. Added to that, we are lucky enough to work in a clean, modern office right in the heart of the city centre.
