The Dartford & Sevenoaks Audit Partnership are looking for someone who is interested in pursuing a career in audit. We are a team keen on keeping up to date with the profession and are highly respected by the Councils we serve to provide valuable assurance, insight and guidance.

Our Audit Partnership provides assurance, consultancy, risk and counter fraud services to both Dartford Borough and Sevenoaks District Councils.

Working across all sections of both Councils, you’ll undertake an agreed audit plan and provide insight into procedures where they fall short of legislative requirements.

You’ll be working with a variety of data where you’ll harness your critical thinking skills to question processes and analyse information to provide recommendations and remedial actions as part of your audits.

This role is based at both Sevenoaks District Council and Dartford Borough Council. We currently operate a hybrid working model for most of our roles, where your working time will be divided between the office (2-3 days) and home working (2-3) days.
