Consulting School / College Leaver Programme - Belfast - January 2026

Job description

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 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.

Person requirements

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)

(Please note: we do not accept General Studies, AS Levels or EPQs.)
