Price Bailey welcomes over 40 new trainees in 2024

The firm’s summer 2024 trainee intake brings 14 graduates, 15 school leavers and three 12-month industry placements.

Price Bailey welcomes its summer intake of trainees, with 29 team members joining on an initial two-week induction period at Price Bailey’s Cambridge office, before they move on to their respective offices and departments. The induction period offers all trainees an opportunity to learn about Price Bailey and integrate with existing staff, through events such as a pizza night!

This comes following the addition 11 graduates, hired through Price Bailey’s inaugural winter trainee intake, back in February 2024, as well as three 12-month placement students earlier this summer.

The firm is now recruiting for its February 2025 intake and expects to welcome another 15-20 hires from the local area.

Applications for the summer 2025 intake will open late-October.

To be considered for a place, school leavers must hold a minimum of 112 UCAS points, with graduates requiring a minimum of a 2:2 in any undergraduate degree subject.

Duncan Crooks, a Senior Manager who leads the firm’s Resourcing function and specialises in trainee recruitment said:

We continue to invest heavily in our Early Careers programme here at Price Bailey and this year we have welcomed over 40 trainees, joining our various trainee programmes.

This year we took on a winter intake for the first time, along with the traditional summer intake, and the obvious success of this has now made it a permanent fixture in our calendar.

Duncan continues:

We recognise that career development, structured training and a great life/work balance is important to future talent. As such, we’re delighted to offer all of our trainees a comprehensive programme that includes full study support for their accountancy qualifications; flexible working through our Smart Working policy; ongoing soft skills training and a structured progression pathway.

Our trainees are the future of the firm, so we’re committed to unlocking the potential of each and every one of them. One of the highlights of my role is seeing them flourish in our supportive and inclusive environment.

Price Bailey was ranked in the Apprenticeships Top 100 Employers list for 2024. This is the fourth year the firm was placed in the Top 100 Apprenticeship Employers, marking an excellent achievement and a testament to the training and development offered.
