Due to recent expansion, a growing Internal Auditing Organisation is currently looking for a few Internal Auditors to help with their growing workload. The offices are based in Cannock, but the company offer hybrid working meaning you will only need to be in the office two or three times a week.
The company provides internal auditing services for a range of organisations, mainly in public sector services, charity, and local government sectors. It would be useful if you have experience in these fields; however, if your internal auditing experience has been varied, it would be good to hear from you.
You will need to have at least 12 months of experience as an Internal Auditor; however, we are open to candidates who have more experience, as the role can be developed into a Senior Internal Auditor role for someone with five plus years of experience.
It would be great if you have any industry qualifications in Internal Auditing or are working towards any qualifications. The company will help with your qualifications when needed and has been involved with different industry bodies in the past.
This company has a track record of developing the careers of their staff. If you show initiative and have a productive work rate, hitting deadlines within budget, you can expect regular pay reviews and career opportunities.
Apart from an interesting career path, you will be rewarded with an excellent starting salary, pay reviews, bonus, and other excellent benefits.
