At Kent County Council, we are inspired by the challenge of continuous improvement. We are delighted to announce the exciting opportunity for a Principal Auditor to strengthen our Internal Audit and Counter Fraud team.

As Principal Auditor you will be joining a highly respected, supportive and innovative team, with the responsibility for independently reviewing one of the largest Councils in the UK, including its portfolio of trading companies. We also undertake an increasing number of audits for other public and third sector bodies in Kent through our trading arm (Invicta Audit and Counter Fraud). This means that there will be many opportunities for you as a Principal Auditor to continue your development.
- be professionally qualified or working towards a professional qualification.

You should be self-motivated with a positive, flexible approach and drive and enthusiasm to contribute towards audit delivery and maintaining our excellent reputation.

This post is offered on a full-time and permanent basis and although based in Maidstone, remote working is key to how we operate.

This role attracts the benefit of flexible working (including both hours and location of work); the opportunity for further training and development, including professional qualifications where relevant; the potential for career progression and a wide range of other employment benefits.

This post is considered by KCC to be a customer-facing position.
