You will be responsible for executing audits end‑to‑end, applying a risk‑based approach to identify key issues, provide meaningful insights, and offer constructive challenge where it matters most. By working closely with stakeholders, you will build trusted relationships and communicate your findings clearly, supporting better decision‑making and driving real, lasting improvements.
What you’ll be doing

- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to communicate findings clearly and influence outcomes.
- Ability to analyse complex information and use data insights to identify themes, trends, and issues.

- Strong organisational and time‑management skills, with the ability to manage competing priorities.
The working hours (per week) for this role can be between 28 and 35 hours.
We offer hybrid working wherever possible. You can work from home or the office with generous access to either; at least two days per week (or 40% for part‑time) will be spent at either our London or Swindon office. If you are aligned to our Glasgow hub, there will be a need to regularly connect and collaborate with colleagues, anticipated to be weekly.
