We do this by producing methodology guidance, support materials and guidance, as well as developing and delivering the technical learning programme for our audit professional (qualified) staff.

You will be looking to join a growing team which provides you with a real opportunity to contribute strategically to our continual process of quality improvement.
You will demonstrate your commitment to quality and be confident in your sound technical competence in auditing and quality matters, while recognising the importance of wider consultation when appropriate.
You will have a strong sense of ownership and accountability and have a track record of delivering key quality projects.
You will role model professional scepticism and bring a challenge mindset to interactions with Audit RIs and teams.
We support our people to ensure they can grow their own way through proactive learning and development.
