Don't take our word for it. See what our experts say about working at Smith Partnership
With plenty of opportunity for growth, Smith Partnership is an exciting and dynamic place 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.

…the firm continues to ‘grow its own’ people wherever possible continuing with apprenticeships and its work in the local community.

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.

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.
