Steer Consultant Programme - Assistant Consultant (Birmingham office)

Are you ready to make a meaningful impact in the world? At Steer, we are seeking talented and motivated individuals who are passionate about driving change and providing powerful solutions to make a measurable difference – to our clients, the communities we work in and the world we share. We’re seeking individuals with a good academic background, strong people and organisation skills and a passion for changing the world.

From your very first week, you’ll tackle real‑world challenges that make a difference in our communities and industries. You will be expected to deliver the full range of consultancy work and develop your consultancy skills through a combination of on‑the‑job learning as well as a structured development and mentoring programme.

Throughout your first 18 months with us, you will collaborate with our team of industry experts to address some of the most complex problems in the sectors we operate in. You will experience:

• A tailored programme that provides you with the skills needed for a successful career in consultancy, delivered through a blend of formal classroom training, engaging induction sessions, and on‑the‑job learning opportunities.
• Three rotations, working with different teams and on a variety of projects, ensuring you develop a wide‑ranging consultancy skillset, build strong internal networks, and gain a comprehensive understanding of our business.
• Mentoring from senior colleagues who will work with you to develop your skills.
• A dedicated ‘buddy’ who will help you settle into life at Steer.
• A career development manager and programme sponsor who supports your cohort throughout the programme and your professional development through career coaching and career progression at Steer.

Applicants should be educated to degree level (having obtained, or on track to achieve at least 2:1 or equivalent) with all subjects considered, preferably with a quantification or research element included, although this isn’t essential. We believe in empowering our people and giving them the opportunities to shine. As an employee‑owned company, our team is dedicated and passionate about what they do, and that’s why we are at the forefront of our industry.

Benefits include:

• Private medical insurance and health screening
• Life assurance and group income protection
• Company pension scheme
• EAP and mental health first aiders
• 25 days annual leave and ability to buy and sell annual leave days
• Season Ticket Loan/Cycle to Work
• Group Share Incentive Plan
• Up to 5 days for volunteering activities
• Discretionary bonus scheme based on annual compensation (dependent upon individual and company performance)

Steer is committed to ensuring that all its employees are compensated a fair, livable wage. All initial compensation, regardless of location, may be subject to change as skills, abilities, internal equity and geographic location are taken into account. In addition to base salary, all employees will be eligible for an annual discretionary performance bonus.

All Steer employees seeking a full‑time opportunity are encouraged to spend 60% of their time either in the office or on‑site with clients. An employee’s typical work week consists of 37.5 hours. We understand that some may be dissuaded to apply based on their compatibility with the job description. That being said, we understand that not everyone is a perfect match on paper and encourage anyone to apply regardless of how much their work experience directly relates to the job description.
