- Employee, Smith Partnership
Communications are strong and people feel they are kept up to date on any developments. Whilst people have largely returned to office based working, the firm has always been flexible in helping people meet work and home life balance needs and requests to work from home.

Learning and development continues to be a strength of the firm. People continue to be developed to positions of greater responsibility in the firm, coaching and knowledge sharing is excellent, and achievement of relevant qualifications is supported.

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.
