United Kingdom East Sussex Council Full time

Are you self-motivated, able to develop excellent working relationships and looking for a career in a fast paced and challenging profession? If so, we have the right job for you

We are currently looking for someone to join our fantastic, forward-thinking Internal Audit service based at East Sussex County Council. The role being advertised is within our Partnership Team, and is a crucial role in ensuring delivery of our service to one of our major clients, with the opportunity to work across all of our partner and client organisations.

Who are Orbis Internal Audit?

Orbis Internal Audit is a unique concept, providing Internal Audit and Counter Fraud services across East Sussex County Council, Brighton & Hove City Council and Surrey County Council. We are a service of 38 auditors, with a wide range of skills and experience. We are unique in that the entire service delivers work not only to their own sovereign authority, but also to other partners, clients and customers, which maximises the impact, efficiency and effectiveness of our service and resources. This creates great opportunities for everyone within the service to learn and understand how different organisations work.

We are responsible for providing assurance to our clients in relation to internal control, governance and risk management, supporting each organisation to achieve its overall objectives.

We invest hugely in developing new Internal Auditors, both internally and externally by offering support through buddying, mentoring & coaching, on the job training and access to a wide variety of professional and personal development opportunities.

In November 2022, the Orbis Internal Audit service was externally assessed against the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards (PSIAS) by the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors. This covers an assessment of compliance with the Professional Standards, benchmarking against best practice, and an assessment of Internal Audit’s profile and impact within client organisations. We were assessed as achieving the highest level of conformance available against the Standards and were deemed ‘Excellent’ in our reflection of the standards and our focus on performance, risk and adding value.

At the time of this advert, 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.

What skills and qualifications do I need?

You do not need to have any formal audit or accounting qualification, nor will you need experience within an internal audit environment, although this would be an advantage.

Successful candidates will be self-motivated and able to work on their own initiative and within a team. You will have a willingness to learn and will be able to demonstrate how your current skill set can transfer to the role of Internal Auditor. The Job Description and Person Specification identify the type of skills that will be necessary for your success in this role. The ability to undertake work to specified timeframes and budgets is crucial as is the ability to develop excellent client relationship skills remotely and in person.

To support you we have developed a robust induction programme to give you access to the skills and training you will need to be successful in the role. You will need to possess the flexibility and skills to receive a hybrid induction.
