2 weeks ago

Lewes, East Sussex, United Kingdom East Sussex County Council Full time

Can you meet the challenges of delivering IT audit for diverse local authorities

Orbis Internal Audit provides Internal Audit and Counter Fraud services across East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and Surrey County Council. Calling on the expertise of 38 auditors, who between them offer a wide range of skills and experience, we provide assurance to our clients in relation to internal control, governance and risk management, supporting each organisation to achieve its overall objectives. We currently work on a hybrid basis, with an expectation that everyone within our service will share time between working from one of our available offices and from home.

In November 2022, we were externally assessed against the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS) and were deemed 'Excellent' in recognition of our standards and our focus on performance, risk and adding value. Your expertise will be crucial to maintaining and building on this achievement.

Leading the delivery of specialist IT audit and assurance activities, you'll be expected to develop and execute comprehensive IT audit plans tailored to each of our partner councils and other external fee-paying customers. This is an opportunity to take on high profile and technically complex audit reviews, which result in agreeing appropriate actions with management, along with the provision of advice, support and challenge to clients on risk governance and internal control matters. As a senior member of the team, you'll supervise the work of less experienced colleagues and play a part in their ongoing development.

You'll bring experience of undertaking complex IT audits to the public sector. This should include knowledge of information security, application development and architecture, code security, cloud infrastructure, application development methodologies and general IT controls. Familiarity with leading industry frameworks such as Cyber Essential Plus, ITIL and COBIT would also be helpful. A skilled communicator with good negotiation and influencing skills, you'll be confident about handling every stage of audit, from strategy and planning through to report writing and presentation of findings to management. You will hold a professional qualification such as CISA.

To apply for this role please follow the 'Apply Now' button and upload your CV and coveting letter. As part of the application process we have set three shortlisting questions to give us an insight into what you can bring to this role, and to give you an understanding of the type of activities this role involves. When completing your CV and covering letter be sure to answer the following shortlisting questions:

Can you discuss a significant IT risk that local government organisations could be facing and how internal audit may be able to help address this risk? Describe a situation where you had to communicate complex IT audit findings to senior management. How did you ensure your message was clear and well-received? Can you provide an example where you have either supervised or mentored less experience audit staff as part of an audit. What was the outcome and the approach that you took?

​Interviews will be undertaken in person at County Hall, Lewes in the week commencing 22 July 2024.

We offer a competitive salary, access to a generous local government pension scheme and 24 days annual leave (plus public holidays) rising after five years' service. We're also committed to helping you achieve a good work-life balance with flexible working, family-friendly policies and an employee wellbeing programme. More information can be found on our
