ISO Auditing Lead

Why Moorhouse? We are a dynamic consulting firm, focused on delivering sustainable change. We make sure our clients succeed in their long‑term goals by helping them turn their strategy into action through exceptional delivery and a commitment to establishing a culture of change. Clients like what we do and how we work, and we are looking for people to join the Moorhouse team.

Overview: We pride ourselves in being proactive, collaborative, and straightforward team players. We like to move fast as a team and both honesty and integrity are key to this. In return you will be part of a supportive and high‑performing team that shares the workload, looks after each other and celebrates success together. You can be assured of an exciting opportunity that will stretch you and equip you with skills, experience and knowledge that can help organisations respond to the turbulence, change and opportunity that will define the future of work. We don’t do politics, egos, or personal agendas – it consumes too much time and distracts us from being successful together. We will expect you to contribute to a culture of sustainability and embrace Moorhouse’s social responsibility by integrating responsible practices and upholding ethical standards and awareness in everyday work. Moorhouse is currently unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role. Unfortunately, this means we are not able to progress applications from candidates who would require sponsorship now or in the future.

Moorhouse holds three ISO accreditations: 9001: Quality, 14001: Environmental, and 27001: Information Security. These accreditations are critical to Moorhouse’s firm‑wide growth efforts; holding them is a pre‑requisite for winning work in the public sector and several private sector organisations expect consultancies to hold them as a minimum requirement for working with them. To continue to hold these accreditations, Moorhouse undergoes an annual audit delivered by an external auditor. At the external audit, members of the Partner Team, ISO Squad, Responsible Business Squad, Chief of Staff and People & Talent teams are interviewed and provide evidence that Moorhouse is implementing all the processes and reporting required to hold the accreditation. A key process which must be run by an organisation to hold ISO Accreditations is quarterly internal auditing. Internal audits are delivered by a resource from within the business and look at a sample of the processes and reports Moorhouse should be running as part of ISO accreditation and assess whether they’re being run to the correct standard.

Responsibilities: The ISO Squad is looking for an Auditing Lead to coordinate Moorhouse’s preparations for both internal and external audit, to ensure we pass and maintain our ISO accreditations. The role will see the individual coordinate activity across Moorhouse, gain senior exposure and provide insight into how the organisation operates.

• Internal Audit: Work with the Chief Compliance Officer, Quality Manager and Environment Manager to identify which processes and reports should be audited at internal audits. Gather evidence to assess whether the process/reports being audited meet the ISO’s standards. Raise any non‑conformities. Work with the Chief Compliance Officer, Quality Manager and Environment Manager to identify mitigating action for non‑conformities and areas for improvement. Report on the outcome of the internal audit and share insight into where Moorhouse operational processes can be enhanced to Operations SteerCo.
• External Audit: Identify the material and evidence Moorhouse requires to show its compliance with the ISO Squad accreditation requirements. Ensure that the material and evidence for the audit is prepared and documented in advance of the audit. Ensure the various teams – including Partners – are prepared for their audit interviews. Report on the outcome of the external audit and share insight into where Moorhouse operational processes can be enhanced to Operations SteerCo.

Benefits: Base salary up to £37,000 FTE. 25 days annual leave (pro‑rated). Life Assurance, Private Medical Insurance, Group Personal Pension Scheme and a range of discounted lifestyle and well‑being benefits through Perkbox. Enhanced family‑friendly package: generous parental pay, flexible working options, and paid time off for family commitments so you can balance work and home life with confidence. Inclusive Culture and Community: a wide range of employee resource groups that encourage collaboration, peer support, and offer learning and education opportunities across the business and create a strong sense of belonging across the business. Our offices are based near Liverpool Street in London. We support flexible and hybrid working. Moorhouse is proud to be an equal‑opportunity employer, and our values underpin a working environment that is inclusive for all those who work for us. We encourage people to bring their whole selves to work, contribute ideas, take the initiative and be responsible for their impact on others internally and externally.
