About our Team
As Internal Auditors we are a valued friend and trusted advisor; responsible for providing assurance to our clients in relation to internal control, governance and risk management, supporting the organisation to achieve its overall objectives.
We invest in developing our Internal Auditors by offering support through buddying, mentoring & coaching, on the job training, and access to a wide variety of professional and personal development opportunities.
In November 2022, the service was externally assessed against the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS) by the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors. This covers an assessment of compliance with the Professional Standards, benchmarking against best practice, and an assessment of Internal Audit's profile and impact within the organisation. We were assessed as achieving the highest level of conformance available against the Standards and were deemed 'Excellent' in our reflection of the standards and our focus on performance, risk and adding value.
About the Role
Having already set out on your career path as an auditor you will understand the value that assurance activity has within an organisation. You may have started your professional studies for a formal audit or accounting qualification, or you may hold a counter fraud or IT qualification with relevant experience. We can support you in your professional development whatever stage you have reached. This role will sit within a new team which includes providing specialist support with Counter Fraud and IT Audit work. Experience of either area would be a significant benefit.
Successful candidates will be self-motivated and able to work on their own initiative and within a team. The Job Profile identifies the type of skills that will be necessary for your success in this role. The ability to undertake work to specified timeframes and budgets is crucial as is the ability to develop excellent client relationship skills remotely and in person.
To support you we have developed a robust induction programme to give you access to the skills and training you will need to be successful in the role. You will need to possess the flexibility and skills to receive a hybrid induction.
