• Monitor assurance activities, including staff surveillance, work quality and asset condition checks, identifying trends and areas requiring attention.

We want to hear from people with different experiences, perspectives and backgrounds. If the opportunity interests you but you don't meet every point, we'd still encourage you to consider applying. Transferable skills and the ability to learn can be just as valuable as experience gained in a similar role.

• Knowledge of assurance and compliance processes
• Knowledge of relevant standards and procedures
• Knowledge of investigation processes and techniques
• Good analytical skills
