About Us and The Role

We have a superb opportunity for an experienced professional to join Warwickshire County Council’s Internal Audit Service. 

The Internal Audit team delivers a comprehensive service to the County Council and external clients which an external quality assessment has confirmed as meeting the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards.

With a forward-thinking approach to supporting and improving the effectiveness of risk management, control and governance processes, working for Warwickshire County Council Internal Audit presents you with the unique opportunity to make a difference, operating within a hugely diverse client base; from Fire and Rescue to various District and County Council services and Police Forces.

If you desire routine, predictability of workload and enjoy being immersed in the granular level detail, this will not be the right opportunity for you.

If you are ambitious, enjoy flexible working in an autonomous and proactive way, focus your attention on the big picture, all whilst creating and nurturing solid working and commercial relationships, then this role will be a great match.

The key roles are managing a team of auditors delivering services, as set out in the overall audit strategies and plans;

Being the engagement manager for specified clients supported by the service, which could be Warwickshire County Council and/or external clients; and

Providing strategic advice to senior management on matters of governance and control, and the preparation of reports to senior management teams and committees.
