Graduate/Trainee Internal Auditor
The post holder will be contracted on £29,225 pa (65% of £44,962) with a supported 3-year training programme for study and work experience with linked annual increases.
37.5 hours per week
Flexible working - with a base in Rotherham, Nottingham or Coventry office. Please note: We are not taking on sponsorship visas.
We have an exciting opportunity for an ambitious individual to join our Internal Audit team. In this role you will perform reviews that are crucial to how well an organisation is run and performs, including governance, risk management, financial management, data and information management, and IT. We are an NHS service, hosted by University Hospitals Derby and Burton NHS Foundation Trust, providing audit services to NHS clients in South Yorkshire, the East and West Midlands.
You will work within a team providing internal audit services to a wide spectrum of NHS organisations. The role will see you:
1. Undertake a professional accountancy or internal audit qualification (ACCA or IIA): studying whilst developing in the role of Internal Auditor.
2. Add value to the NHS: researching and assessing clients, providing evidence-based feedback through audit reports and face-to-face presentations.
3. Propose practical solutions to support busy organisations.
4. Work independently and as part of a broader team: working in a team to deliver audits for NHS clients.
Main duties of the job
Candidates will be required to build strong relationships with colleagues and clients and become knowledgeable on a broad range of topic areas including adapting and prioritising as workload requires and will ensure timely delivery of quality audits. The cost of your professional training package is paid for by 360 Assurance (subject to T&C's) and you will be provided with time to study. Upon qualification, you will have opportunities to develop further within our organisation and continue to progress your career.
Upon successful completion of the trainee programme, you will be appointed as an Audit Principal. As you pass exams, you will benefit from being an NHS employee with the option to join the NHS pension scheme, flexible working, and access NHS staff benefits. Although based at one location, travel across the client base will be expected. You will work from 360 offices, client sites, and home.
Candidates will undertake a multi-stage recruitment process that will include as a minimum an interview, skills assessment, and presentation. You will need to be a car driver to enable travel between NHS sites and other locations across the East and West Midlands, and South Yorkshire (use of public transport is unlikely to be practical for this post).
Closing date of applications: 24 November 2024
Interview date: 3 December 2024
