Public Sector

Background
The public sector is a career destination of choice for many accountants, not only those who have trained in this sector but also those from practice and commerce & industry - for whom the range of activities and the opportunity to undertake work of national importance are major considerations.

The public sector, by its very nature, provides opportunities throughout the UK and many positions are available on a temporary or short-term contract basis, allowing candidates to assess the mutual attractions of a career in this area before making a full-time commitment.
