BDO RETURNER PROGRAMME

Our BDO Returner Programme is open to qualified, experienced professionals who have previously worked in Professional Services and who may have taken time out of their career or moved into another sector and who are now looking to Return to Professional Services. We have a range of roles across all of our specialist services and we work with you to ensure that our roles fit your requirements. We offer flexible hours, part-time roles, working from home options and we have also built a range of support to ensure you are set up for success!

Rewards & Benefits

At BDO we put our people at the heart of everything we do. To reflect this we have built a Reward structure that responds to our employee’s demands. Our benefits include:

Part-time options

We want to ensure that we can offer you working hours that work for you. If that means you can only work 9-2 then we make that happen

Flexible Working

We understand that Returners are likely to need additional flexibility around where they work and when they work. We will sit with you to understand your needs and will ensure that your role can facilitate that flexibility

Broad Benefits Package

We have built a comprehensive benefits package that offers a range of options ensuring that the benefits are focussed on your priorities 

Competitive Salaries

We offer competitive salaries but more importantly we will hire at the right level and not expect you to take a step back in your career due to a career break

Supportive Teams

We employ great people! That means you will be part of a supportive team who are there to help and facilitate your transition back into the workforce

Career Paths

We will work with you to ensure that your career progression aligns with your personal commitments. We have Returners at all levels of the business, meaning you can continue to develop your career even if working part-time

Interview Process

We have created a bespoke process for our Returner Programme with the aim to allow a two-way conversation, ensuring candidates get a window into what working at BDO really looks like. We ensure that candidates get to meet the team and other Returners who can share how the Returner Programme has worked for them. Our process includes:
