Job description

About The Role

We have a unique opportunity for a proactive, analytical individual to join our Internal Audit team as an Auditor.

As a leading UK life and pensions mutual insurer with a proud history dating back to 1843, we exist to help people live financially confident lives, protecting their income while they work and maximising it when they stop. Today, over one million members and customers trust us to look after their futures, families and finances.

Joining LV= means becoming part of a purpose-led mutual that puts members, customers and advisers at the heart of what we do. We are building a modern, insight-led assurance function that helps the business make better decisions, manage risk well and deliver with confidence.

We are committed to creating an inclusive culture where colleagues can thrive. We are proud to have built a workplace where our colleagues feel welcomed, respected, supported and valued, reflected in our recognition as one of the Financial Times UK’s Best Employers in 2025 and 2026.

This early-career role suits graduates and candidates with relevant experience, and an interest in Internal Audit. Working with experienced colleagues, you’ll support risk-based audits, assess processes and controls and turn findings into practical insights. A key part of this role will be to analyse data using tools such as Fabric, Excel, KNIME and Power BI to test full data populations. Financial services experience is helpful but not essential - curiosity, problem-solving, confidence with technology and a willingness to learn will matter most. You’ll gain broad business exposure, contribute to data-led assurance, automation and responsible AI, and be supported to develop your skills.

This is a permanent role, offered on a hybrid working basis, from our Bournemouth office.

Key Accountabilities

• Support risk-based audits by understanding processes, assessing risks and controls, and gathering clear, accurate evidence.
• Use powerful tools to analyse data, identify trends and exceptions, and produce clear insights and reporting.
• Contribute to walkthroughs and stakeholder discussions, drafting balanced findings and practical improvements.
• Help make audits more efficient and insight-led through data, automation, technology and responsible AI.
• Build strong working relationships, take ownership of your development and work towards a relevant professional qualification.
• Demonstrate integrity, objectivity and respect for confidential information.

About You

Our ideal candidate will…

• Have a degree level qualification or practical experience in data science, computing, coding, statistics, AI engineering or applied mathematics.
• Be able to use data to solve problems, identify patterns and support decisions, prove hypothesis and have an interest in developing analytics or automation.
• Be curious, analytical and comfortable exploring unfamiliar topics, with strong attention to detail.
• Communicate clearly, be organised and proactively manage actions, evidence and deadlines.
• Show integrity, objectivity and sound judgement when handling sensitive information.
• Be motivated to learn, embrace new technology and build a career in modern Internal Audit, including working towards a relevant professional qualification.
• Financial services experience and previous use of analytics, coding, dashboards or visualisation tools are desirable but not essential.

Rewards & Benefits

At LV= Life and Pensions, you’ll go above and beyond to do the right thing for our customers. We’ll reward your hard work with an attractive, competitive salary and benefits package, which includes:

• 26 days' holiday – increasing after two years of service to 28 days
• The opportunity to buy or sell up to five days of holiday
• An annual bonus scheme based on company and personal performance
• Flexible benefits, including a cycle to work scheme, personal accident insurance, critical illness cover, private medical insurance, and dental insurance
• Competitive pension scheme - LV= Life and Pensions will double-match the amount you pay, up to 14%
• Group Life Assurance of four times your basic pay to your dependents (you’ll have the option to increase this to 8 x cover)
• Group Income Protection, if you enrol into the pension scheme and reach 5 years of service
• Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) service for support when you need it
• Virtual GP service
• Shared parental leave
• Up to 20% discount on our life products for you and your immediate family.

Please note that we are unable to offer Skilled Worker Visa Sponsorship for this role. Therefore, you must ensure that you are eligible to work in the UK without our sponsorship for your application to be considered.

The Process

For this role, our recruitment process will consist of the following:

• Telephone interview with a recruiter
• Teams-based competency interview with our Audit Leadership team
• In-office assessment, consisting of a role-play exercise, psychometric assessment, and closing interview with our Chief Audit Officer.

You’ll be kept fully informed throughout.
