Consulting Digital Careers - School / College Leaver - London - September 2026

Competitive
RSM UK
London
Deadline: 01/09/2026

Powered by digital. Driven by you.

You can do digital. Streaming, swiping, searching. But have you ever thought about building a career in it? Because it’s already changing everything. The way we shop, work, talk, learn, live. Data is guiding decisions everywhere. Automation is reshaping industries. AI is rewriting the rules.

But behind the buzzwords and breakthroughs, one thing still matters more than anything else: people who get the bigger picture. People who ask smart questions, join the dots and help others keep up with change.

Exciting.

Why is digital such a big deal?

Because our clients are facing challenges they’ve never seen before and digital is how they respond.

  • It’s how they improve how their teams work 
  • It’s how they connect with customers 
  • It’s how they make faster, better decisions 
  • It’s how they stay ahead

That’s where you come in – to us.

We’re building a digital-first Consulting business and we need people like you with fresh thinking and bold curiosity to help make it real. If you’re someone who’s excited by digital, open to learning and ready to explore what it’s really like to work in this space, this is your starting point.

What is the Early Digital Careers Programme? 

It’s your chance to jump straight from school or college into one of the most fast-paced, future-focused industries out there, joining our consulting teams on real digital projects. Not just watching, doing. Not just learning, applying what you learn. 

That means:

  • Seeing how businesses actually work behind the scenes 
  • Using data, AI, automation and cloud tools to solve problems 
  • Working on projects in industries like healthcare, finance, tech and energy 
  • Collaborating with consultants and digital specialists every day 
  • Building skills and confidence that will set you up for wherever you go next

Where could you start? 

Business Transformation - Help redesign how organisations work, from their processes to their tech stack. 

Consulting Digital - Build tools, improve delivery and help drive innovation across RSM and our clients. 

Finance Function Support - Use automation and data insights to help clients make smarter financial decisions. 

Risk and Governance - Support businesses in using tech to stay compliant, reduce risk and improve operations. 

Technology Assurance Digital Team - Get hands-on with cyber security and IT risk management while working towards recognised tech qualifications. 

Wherever you land, you’ll be part of a team that values your perspective and supports your progress. 

What we’re looking for: 

We’re not expecting you to be a digital expert. Yet. We’re looking for people who are interested, motivated and curious about what’s possible.

You might be:

  • Interested in tech, data or automation 
  • Always thinking about how things could work better 
  • Someone who enjoys solving tricky problems 
  • Excited to try new tools, learn new skills and work with others 
  • Open to asking questions, trying things out and developing digital skills as you go

You'll need:

  • 112 UCAS points from 3 A Levels (or equivalent Level 3 qualification) 
  • Or 104 UCAS points from 4 Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or Irish Leaving Certificate (Higher Level)

Please note we don’t accept General Studies, AS levels or EPQs

The start date for this role is on 15 September 2026. Please note, our start dates are mandatory due to the internal and professional training you receive upon joining the firm, to offer you the best start to your career with us. 

What you’ll get:

  • A role in a dynamic consulting team, working on live client projects 
  • Support to study for an industry-recognised qualification (like CIMA, CISA or a Digital/Tech Certification) 
  • Coaching, mentoring and access to our digital learning hub 
  • A workplace where your ideas are valued and your growth is supported 
  • Wellbeing support, development tools, and future career opportunities

Show us what you’re made of and this could lead to a place on our graduate programme, putting you on a long-term consulting career path.

You’ve got big ambitions. We’ve got the platform to launch them.

You want variety, challenge and the chance to work with brilliant people doing big things – and to become one of those brilliant people. You want to make an impact, not someday, but right now. Welcome to Consulting at RSM, a career where no two days are the same and you’re right at the heart of the action.

Why Consulting? Because Consulting is everywhere.

From tech to retail, healthcare to energy, consulting reaches every corner of the business world. You’ll contribute from day one, learning by doing and working as part of collaborative, fast-moving multidisciplinary teams working with organisations across industries to solve problems, drive change and create lasting value. Whether it’s transforming operations, improving financial performance, or helping businesses navigate risk, consulting at RSM is where fresh thinking meets real-world impact.

You'll begin your journey in either our Risk Assurance or Finance Function Support team, gaining hands-on experience and building strong foundations.

So, what do these teams actually do?

Risk Assurance is all about helping businesses stay safe and sound. You’ll help spot potential problems before they happen, make sure companies are following the rules and support them in managing risks that could affect their future. Think of it like being a detective, only instead of solving crimes, you’re helping businesses stay one step ahead.

Finance Function Support (FFS) is where business meets numbers. You’ll help clients keep their financial operations running smoothly, from preparing reports to offering advice on financial matters. If you’ve got an eye for detail and enjoy making sense of tricky stuff, this could be your perfect fit.

But your path doesn’t stop there. We offer secondments across our wider consulting teams, giving you exposure to the full spectrum of our work, including business transformation, forensics, deal advisory, restructuring and more.

Whichever team you join, you’ll be part of projects that matter. You’ll contribute ideas, solve problems and help deliver results that clients really value.

Your pathway

You won’t just be learning on the job, you’ll also be working towards your AAT qualification or Business Degree, supported and mentored by our experienced team and with structured training designed to help you grow.

This is what you’ll do:

  • Use data and digital tools to solve complex business problems
  • Deliver insights that help clients make better decisions
  • Develop transferable skills that will serve you throughout your career
  • Help shape outcomes that matter to businesses and communities

What we look for 

What matters most is your mindset. You might be a natural problem-solver, an analytical thinker, or someone who sees patterns and inefficiencies others miss. If you're eager to learn, open to new ideas and excited to work in a collaborative environment, you could thrive here.

You don’t need a specific background, just the right mindset:

  • You're curious. You question the way things work
  • You spot problems - and want to solve them
  • You’re a confident communicator, a collaborator and a born learner
  • You love tech and aren’t afraid to use it

You’ll need:

  • 112 UCAS points from 3 A Levels or equivalent Level 3 qualifications, or
  • 104 UCAS points across 4 Scottish Highers/Advanced Highers or Irish Leaving Certificate (Higher Level)
