Job description

Internal Auditor – 12 Month Temporary Assignment

Rate: Up to £23 per hour + holiday pay (c.£45,000 equivalent)
Location: West London
Duration: Expected to run for 12 months
Job Ref: AWW/44776

A specialist financial services business is looking for an Internal Auditor to join its small Internal Audit team on a long-term temporary assignment.

Working closely with the Internal Audit Manager, you will gain broad, hands‑on exposure across the audit lifecycle and contribute to a varied programme of reviews across the business. You will be involved from initial planning and scoping through to testing, findings, reporting and follow-up.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Performing audit testing across a range of business areas
• Reviewing processes, risks and key controls
• Documenting findings and contributing to practical recommendations
• Engaging with stakeholders throughout audit assignments
• Supporting the preparation of audit reports and follow-up activity
• Contributing to the delivery of the wider Internal Audit plan

We are interested in candidates with previous professional experience across Internal Audit, External Audit, Risk or Controls. Financial services experience would be beneficial, although candidates with strong transferable audit or assurance experience from other sectors will also be considered.

This could be particularly well suited to someone looking to make the move from External Audit into Internal Audit, or an existing Internal Auditor looking to gain broader, hands‑on experience within a smaller team.
