Why choose the Channel Islands?

The Channel Islands offers a client base comparable to major financial hubs like London, with a particular focus on financial services. You’ll work with a wide range of clients, from banks and trust companies to property funds and commercial enterprises.

And it’s not just about work. With a short commute and an even shorter walk to clients—usually 10-15 minutes—life in the Channel Islands offers a work-life balance that’s hard to beat. From miles of sandy beaches and trendy rooftop bars to bustling town centres and hidden coves, you’ll enjoy the best of both worlds.

Our Channel Islands offices are globally connected, too. Whether it's colleagues joining us from places like Australia, Bermuda, and Canada or team members heading off to Sydney, Boston, or London on secondment, you’ll find no shortage of international opportunities.

What are we looking for?

We’re seeking motivated, passionate individuals with strong academic records. You’ll need a minimum of 96 UCAS points and be on track to achieve an upper second-class honours degree (2:1) or above.
