Job description

A great opportunity has arisen for an experienced Internal Auditor to join an established public sector internal audit team. This is a broad, hands-on role offering plenty of autonomy and exposure across a diverse organisation.

You’ll take responsibility for audits from planning and scoping through to reporting and follow-up, delivering a mixture of risk-based, systems and compliance reviews. You’ll identify control weaknesses, provide practical recommendations and act as a trusted source of audit advice to stakeholders across the organisation.

Alongside delivering the audit plan, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute to wider projects and investigations, improve audit practices and support the development of junior colleagues.

We’re looking for someone with at least five years’ internal audit experience within the UK public sector, ideally within local government, together with a relevant professional qualification such as CIA, ACCA, ACA, CIPFA etc. Strong risk-based auditing experience and knowledge of the local government environment are important.

Hybrid working is on offer, with team members being in the London office 2-3 times a week. The company can also offer flexible working etc.

You must already have full UK working rights and relevant UK experience. Unfortunately, sponsorship is not available for this position.
