You will have the opportunity to benefit from our flexible and agile working practices. This means you will work from home for part of your week and spend some time in council buildings to best suit your work, meetings and collaboration.

Are you naturally inquisitive?

Do you have a desire to make a difference and help improve public services?

You may be an experienced auditor or you may be looking to begin or change your career. We offer a career pathway and training to gain the Institute of Internal Audit’s Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) qualification (see attached person specification / career grade structure).

The opportunity to join our Internal Audit team could be the role for you. Our team provides assurance, insight and advice across all council services, helping to deliver on the council’s priorities for Angus citizens and ensure our resources are used efficiently and effectively.

Reporting to the Team Leader – Internal Audit, you will assist in the delivery of the council’s Internal Audit service, which is a statutory function and a fundamental element of the council’s governance and assurance framework.

Our philosophy is adding value, and we aim to bring a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluating and improving the effectiveness of the council’s internal control, risk management and governance processes through the provision of an independent, objective assurance and consulting activity.

An inquiring and open mind and attention to detail, whilst recognising the bigger picture, all contribute to developing the audit skills required to analyse systems and processes to confirm they are fit for purpose or to offer practical solutions to improve them.

Applications on a part time or job share basis may be considered.
