Risk Assurance (Graduate Trainee) in Glasgow

At Wbg, we’re building something ambitious - and we want you to be part of it. This is an exciting time for our firm as we step into a bold new phase of growth. We help our people and our clients achieve their ambitions by delivering high-quality, specialist services with collaboration, forward-thinking, and integrity at our core. And we do it all with a commitment to doing business sustainably. Right now, we’re expanding our services, strengthening our local presence, and nurturing a culture of excellence.

We are looking for our new cohort of Graduate Internal Auditors to join our Internal Audit team, based in our Glasgow office. Our Internal Audit team plays a vital role in strengthening our clients' ability to create, protect, and sustain value. We provide boards and management with independent, risk-based, and objective assurance, advice, and insight, working across a broad and diverse client base.

As a Graduate Trainee, you will gain first-hand experience delivering audits for a wide range of organisations across the UK, including public sector bodies, social housing providers, charities, and education institutions. The scope of our work is varied and dynamic, one week you might be reviewing student wellbeing arrangements at a college, and the next, assessing gas safety processes at a housing association. Working alongside our ambitious team of professionals, you will develop the full range of skills and knowledge required to contribute effectively to our services. You’ll receive full support through professional Internal Audit training (CIIA), giving you the opportunity to qualify while gaining invaluable practical experience.

With a client base spanning Scotland, England, and Northern Ireland, there may be occasional travel involved, but this is a role that offers true variety, the chance to build trusted relationships with clients, and the opportunity to make a tangible impact across multiple sectors. As part of our growing team of 29 internal audit specialists, you will join a collaborative environment where growth is celebrated, professional development is prioritised, and individuals are encouraged to take ownership of their careers.
