Shropshire Council
We are a high performing, modern internal audit service; looking to recruit an experienced professional to a Principal Auditor role.
An opportunity like this does not come up very often and we are therefore looking for applicants with enthusiasm and a willingness to be flexible as they help to deliver a diverse range of internal audits across Council services and to our external clients.
The Internal Audit team is professional, supportive, forward thinking and keen to deliver the best professional service to our clients and for our auditors to maximise their career progression and job satisfaction in delivery of the service.
This role is pivotal to supporting both the delivery and development of such a service.
The successful applicant will be responsible for carrying out a range of duties within the agreed programme of work for Internal Audit Services.
This will include the provision of high-quality advice, information, analysis and interpretation of a range of governance, risk, counter fraud and internal control measures that will underpin an effective control environment within existing business areas and in new innovative areas of major importance to the Council.
You will be expected to work closely with senior management across the Council and attend as appropriate Committee's and sub committees of the Council and our external clients.
You will oversee the work of the auditors in cooperation with the other Principal Auditors and manage the commissioning of externally produced reviews.
Primarily we are looking to recruit to a full-time position but flexibility of hours, such as part time requests, can be considered for the right candidate.
Most of the time will require working from home and occasionally at a client address and attendance at in person meetings where required.
The postholders primary work base is the Guildhall, Shrewsbury.
It is essential that successful candidates have a relevant degree or equivalent qualification (CCAB, CMIIA or CIA qualified or equivalent) and relevant demonstrable experience.
Applicants should have extensive experience of audit at a senior level and management experience.
