For students starting your careers, we offer internship opportunities throughout the year to accommodate individual circumstances:
- 3-4 weeks for doctors to get a feel for the consulting world during your time off
- 1-2 months during the summer break for university students with a background in healthcare
- 3-9 months longer term internships as part of studies or prospecting career changes

This training continues during your career and is tailored to different levels.
For medics, ideally having completed FY2, a career with us allows you to leverage your practical experience and knowledge while expanding your toolkit into practical and actionable business advise. At the same time, you will have the opportunity to expand into other areas of healthcare and lifesciences, Over the years, we have built a successful track record for such transitions.
If you are an experienced professional with a track-record in consulting and you are looking for a new opportunity, we are always keen to get to know you and explore open roles. As we cover a wide range of consulting services, experience in most areas of consulting is relevant to us. Many of our senior consultants started their careers at other firms and have built Candesic into what it is today.
Our ongoing training and development, and career progression path, will develop you into a well-rounded consulting professional. Should you decide to change path in the future, the attractive positions that our alumni have gone to in the corporate and investment world are a testament to the strength of the experience we provide

Dr Iham Kasem
I started with an internship and had the privilege to work on a major project with a diverse team, including those with medical, scientific, or business backgrounds. Upon completing my internship, the decision to transition to a full-time Analyst role at Candesic was natural and straightforward. The boutique nature of Candesic and its commitment to delivering excellent outcomes are evident on a daily basis. The team gets along very well, fostering a real sense of camaraderie. I’ve found everyone to be incredibly supportive and willing to help since joining the firm.
Candesic has proven to be a great place to work, and the environment encourages personal development. The opportunities to learn from my colleagues and to lead my own pieces of work have been excellent. I would strongly encourage anyone considering applying to go for it!"
