Audit Scotland

We're Scotland’s public sector auditor, independent of government. We employ around 360 talented professionals who know that their work helps ensure the efficient delivery of public services in Scotland. We believe that public money - around £59 billion a year - should be spent well.

As Scotland’s public sectors faces the future, there is plenty of change ahead for public bodies. The role of public audit will be more important and interesting than ever as we play our role in the major reforms ahead and ensure that change is delivered well through making sure public money is spent properly and transparently.

Working in an innovative and supportive place

We work in a wide variety of roles and locations, including our offices in Edinburgh, Glasgow and Inverness, at sites across Scotland and working from home.

Just as the wider public sector is changing, so are we. We’re investing to make sure we have the skills and tools for the future. This means supporting you with ongoing development, investing in systems and technology, and making sure we’re as effective and efficient as possible.

The world is always changing, and so are we. That’s why we’re looking for people who thrive in dynamic environments, are open to change, and eager to learn. Whether it’s embracing new technologies, evolving how we work, or responding to the needs of our stakeholders, growth and continuous development are central to what we do. If you see change as an opportunity, and learning as a lifelong journey, you’ll feel right at home here.

From your very first day we’re flexible about working patterns and styles. We support you to work in the ways that achieve the best results for you, your team and the business, including your physical location and how you manage your hours. Put simply, we trust you to do your job. We want you to have the ability to have a rewarding work-life balance and to best support your individual circumstances, be that childcare, adult carer responsibilities or managing disabilities, menopause symptoms or other conditions.
