Senior Auditor

This is a permanent, full time position required for 37 hours per week.

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a forward thinking, enthusiastic and skilled Senior Auditor within our Audit, Risk & Information team. Our Internal Audit function provides assurance and consultancy services to Pembrokeshire County Council, and operates as the Regional Auditor for the Partneriaeth and Swansea Bay City Deal, whilst conforming to the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards.

You will be responsible for delivering the risk based internal audit plan, plus supporting consultancy activities that drive positive change with the Council providing assurance to our stakeholders. You will have critical analysis and problem-solving skills, and provide clear and concise advice on governance, risk and control. The role would give you the opportunity to make a difference by providing advice and assistance to Senior Managers, and by making recommendations to improve governance, internal control, financial management and risk management arrangements.

The COVID-19 pandemic has allowed us the opportunity to innovate our working practices, and a hybrid-working model has now been adopted. Team members primarily work from home, although an element of office based working continues to be required.

Safeguarding and protecting children and adults at risk is a high priority for Pembrokeshire County Council. We aim to support vulnerable children and adults at risk to ensure they are as safe as they can possibly be. We are committed to ensuring their safety and will take action to safeguard their well-being. The Council’s Corporate Safeguarding Policy provides a framework for every member of staff and Service within the Council, setting out responsibilities in relation to safeguarding and protecting children and adults at risk as well as the methods by which the Council will be assured that it is fulfilling its duties.

This policy applies to all Council employees and workforce, councillors, volunteers and also service providers that are commissioned by the Council. Safeguarding is everyone's business whether they work for, or on behalf of the Council.

**Please note, we have a legal obligation to consider employees for suitable alternative employment if their posts are at risk; therefore prior consideration will be given to existing employees who meet the person specification and are registered on our redeployment pool.**

Welsh language skills are desirable.
