Dynamic Work Environment
PwC Channel Islands values work-life balance and strives to accommodate individual needs. For example, flexible working hours and remote work options are available to help employees manage their personal and professional lives effectively.
Work-Life Balance Prioritization
I absolutely love the Channel Islands. I moved after working in Johannesburg for two years and after being here for over a year, I can't imagine moving back. The work life balance is great, you work hard over certain audits and in the busy season, but are always expected to enjoy some time off and have a life outside of work. My life outside of work includes running and cycling and the island is the perfect place to train. It is safe, beautiful and has a bit of everything to offer from countryside trails to seaside flat stretches.
