PwC Channel Islands in Guernsey is located in the heart of St Peter Port, the island's capital and financial services centre. This small, dynamic office has over 80 staff, including eight partners and directors, as well as around 35 trainees. The open culture of the Guernsey office revolves very much around continuous development, coaching and quality, not forgetting a firm emphasis on enjoying work.

Many of our people are not from the Channel Islands - because Guernsey is a renowned offshore financial services centre, we attract finance professionals from around the world, including PwC people on secondment from firms in our global network, including Southern and East Africa, Australia, Scandinavia, South and South East Asia, the Far East and North America.

We provide Assurance, Advisory and Tax services to a wide variety of high-profile clients within all sectors of the financial services industry, including investment management, insurance, banking and real estate.

As well as delivering exceptional services and expertise to our clients, we help our people to strike a healthy work-life balance. Our active social committee organises monthly events, from local cliff walks to the annual summer and Christmas dinners, outdoor theatre evenings, golf and sailing days and day-trips to France and neighbouring islands. We have a range of sporting teams, including five-a-side football, playing in local leagues. On top of this, many of the client teams socialise regularly, particularly after a hard day working in the office.

Our people can also choose to get involved in helping the local community through our volunteering programme. This year, we supported the World Swim Against Malaria, with a team from the office swimming the equivalent distance to nearby Herm in the island's outdoor sea pool. We also run a number of sporting schools of excellence, providing funding for coaching, equipment and match-play opportunities for young people who show promise in cricket, hockey and netball.

PwC sponsors and attends fundraising dinners, and sponsors local charities and celebrity sporting events, while staff who have given their own time and effort to raise money for causes personally close to their hearts have the monies they raise matched by the firm. Other voluntary initiatives that staff get involved with include Young Enterprise and a woodland re-generation scheme with the National Trust.

Guernsey is an idyllic place to live offering countless sandy beaches, beautiful cliffs and a vibrant alfresco dining and bar culture, all within minutes of the office.

The island is conveniently located for both business and leisure, 75 miles from the English coast, and just 30 miles off the French coast. Guernsey airport services flights to and from many cities in the UK and Europe, with the flight to Gatwick taking around 40 minutes. Quick ferry links make the journey to Portsmouth in around four hours and to the French port of St Malo in around an hour.

The island is British crown dependency, but run independently by The States of Guernsey, with UK Government being constitutionally responsible for its defence and international representation.

The island has been self governing since 1204. The legislature of the island is called 'The States of Guernsey'. The States comprises of The Bailiff who is President of the Assembly, The Lieutenant-Governor, 45 Deputies, with the Policy Council made up of 10 deputies and ministers, The Dean of Guernsey, The Attorney General and The Solicitor General.

The island holds great history in its French heritage, dating back to the 10th Century when it formed part of Normandy. This is apparent in most street and road names, in the laws and especially in the surnames of local people.

The Culture and Leisure department services a wide range of activities, varying from the outstanding sporting facilities at Beau Sejour which is often the venue for many inter-island and international events, to the informative and diverse museums and arts centres showcasing local and international talent.

Health services are well facilitated and accessible and the education service is highly regarded, supporting all aspects of learning within the community, from nursery level through to adult education for all levels and abilities.

With low tax, low crime and low pollution, Guernsey is an appealing and secure place to build a successful career whilst still being able to take full advantage of a healthy work/life balance.
