We’ve got ambitious targets to meet and to achieve everything we have promised to our residents, we need people who are ready to deliver the very best for our communities and show how they can #BeTheDifference. Our vision is to secure the best possible future for our residents, defined by the community prosperity we create and supported by our excellent people and services. If you strive to #BeTheDifference and want to be at the heart of our change and improvement journey, then this could be the perfect job for you.
We’re looking for a Senior Auditor to join the Internal Audit team. Senior Internal Auditors undertake the planning and delivery of a variety of internal audit reviews of areas of Wirral Council’s services, policies and procedures. Through their programme of work, Senior Internal Auditors challenge existing processes, identifying inefficiency, waste or fraud, and look for innovative and creative ways to improve the way the Council works. At Wirral Council, Internal Audit has a pivotal role in helping the organisation manage risks and is a positive catalyst for change.
About the Role:
This is a great opportunity to develop your career in local government, within a forward-thinking and inventive Internal Audit team, working within an innovative and supportive Council.&nbsp; You will take responsibility for reviewing and evaluating a wide range of organisational functions and services including finance; social care; major infrastructure projects; high-value contracts; and complex partnership and joint working arrangements across the region. The Internal Audit team also provides advice and consultancy across the Council, with the aim of adding value and improving organisational governance, risk management and control.
As a Senior Internal Auditor, you will have responsibility for managing the delivery of your own varied portfolio of work, which may also include fraud investigations. Our supportive team environment will ensure that you can develop your skills across all areas of audit, through working closely with experienced colleagues.
Your work will provide assurance on the effectiveness of the organisation’s risk management, governance, policy and internal control processes, and you will work with audit clients to agree far-reaching improvements and innovations based on your own ideas and recommendations.
About the Candidate:
Successful applicants will be passionate about improving the public sector. They will be team players and great communicators, with the desire to think innovatively and strategically about how to improve the way systems and services work, challenge current processes, and work closely with senior management and key stakeholders across the organisation. Previous experience in Internal Audit or finance&nbsp;is desirable but not essential, and we look forward to receiving applications from individuals with a range of transferable skills.
Successful candidates will either already be qualified or working towards a recognised professional qualification such as CCAB or CIIA or will be willing and able to commit to studying towards a qualification.
