Do you want your work to make a real difference to people, communities and the environment? Joining the Environment Agency’s Internal Audit team lets you undertake challenging work that makes a difference. Every day, our work helps strengthen how the organisation delivers on its mission to create a better place for people and wildlife. If you enjoy variety, interesting topics and seeing the impact of your work firsthand, this role offers a rewarding and meaningful career.
We provide independent assurance by reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of corporate governance, risk management and internal control across the organisation. This is a varied and engaging role where no two audits are the same. Our work spans the breadth of the Environment Agency’s activities - one audit could be reviewing flood defences and the next waste enforcement. Auditors value the opportunity to work on novel and complex topics, visit environmental assets and projects, and see first‑hand how their work contributes to protecting and improving the environment.
You will be responsible for proactively and autonomously delivering a suite of complex internal audits from the annual plan, taking assignments from inception through to completion. This includes identifying risks in a terms of reference agreed with stakeholders, designing and delivering testing plans, and clearly communicating findings through exit meetings and formal reports, supported by an Audit Manager. We are a collaborative team that supports one another as needed, and stays connected through regular contact, including monthly in person team meetings.
We encourage innovation and continue to modernise our approach, including the use of data analytics and AI‑enabled tools including risk engines and report‑writing generators.
We are committed to building an inclusive workforce reflecting the communities we serve. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds and support flexible working arrangements. Please indicate preferences regarding your working arrangements.
