Depending on the project you join, you may have the opportunity to:

• Analyse quantitative and qualitative information to identify insights, trends, and opportunities for improvement.
• Explore how data, digital technology, automation, or AI could help improve public services.
• Develop recommendations and delivery plans, considering how people, technology, and data work together.
• Support the development of client materials, including presentations, reports, workshop outputs, and project updates.
• Contribute to meetings and workshop discussions, helping to capture key points, actions, and decisions.
• Learn how consulting teams work together to solve problems, structure ambiguous challenges, and communicate clearly with clients and colleagues.

Examples of the type of projects you could be working on are:

• Support transformation projects that help government and public sector organisations improve services, strengthen operations, and deliver better outcomes for citizens.
• Help review how services and processes work, from frontline delivery through to internal operations, identifying opportunities to make them simpler, more effective, or more resilient.
• Contribute to digital, data, and analytics work, including projects that use AI or data-led approaches to help clients make better decisions.
• Support the development of business cases and funding proposals, helping clients assess different options and make evidence-based decisions.
• Help design how services should operate, looking at how people, processes, technology, and data come together to deliver better results within operating models and service blueprints.
• Support commercial and procurement activity, such as researching suppliers, comparing options, and helping prepare materials for decision-making.

What Are We Looking For?

We welcome applications from students across a broad range of academic disciplines, including STEM and non-STEM subjects, and are particularly keen to hear from students who enjoy solving complex problems using evidence, data, technology, and creative thinking. You do not need to have previous experience in consulting or the public sector - what matters most is your curiosity, willingness to learn, and interest in helping public sector organisations solve complex challenges.

We are looking for people who are excited by the opportunity to learn how consulting teams work, contribute to meaningful client projects, and develop their skills in a supportive environment. You may be a good fit if you bring:

• Structured problem-solving, with the ability to break down unfamiliar questions and identify what matters.
• Data analysis skills, and comfort working with data to surface insight and support evidence-based recommendations.
• Digital and AI literacy, with genuine curiosity about AI and its practical application, and a foundational understanding of how to use these tools responsibly and ethically.
• Interest in policy, government, and public service, and how national priorities translate into delivery on the ground.
• Commercial and financial curiosity, with an interest in how money, value, and delivery decisions shape public services, and comfort working with numbers to support them.
• Clear communication skills, including the ability to explain ideas simply and structure your thinking in writing and conversation.
• A collaborative approach, with enthusiasm for working in teams and learning from others.
• Willingness to learn and adapt, particularly in a fast-paced project environment where priorities can evolve.
• Attention to detail and ownership, taking pride in the quality of your work and following through on tasks.
• A proactive attitude, with the confidence to ask questions, contribute ideas, and get involved.

We do not expect you to have all the answers from day one. We are looking for potential, enthusiasm, and a genuine interest in developing your consulting skills while contributing to work that matters.
