About the Role

Play a pivotal role in providing independent, objective assurance and insight on the effectiveness of governance, risk management, and internal control arrangements. Deliver risk-focused audits and advisory reviews that help protect the Charity's assets, reputation, and ability to achieve its strategic objectives. Influence positive change, build strong stakeholder relationships, and contribute to continuous improvement across a complex and purpose-driven organisation.

Responsibilities

  • Plan internal audit assignments, including defining audit objectives, scope, and approach, to ensure audits are risk-focused and aligned to the approved audit plan.
  • Conduct internal audit testing, evaluate the design and operating effectiveness of controls, and maintain complete audit working papers, to provide sufficient evidence for audit conclusions and recommendations.
  • Prepare high-quality internal audit reports that clearly communicate findings, root causes, risks, emerging themes, and recommendations, to support effective decision-making and timely management action.
  • Provide advice, consultation, and support on risk management, governance, and internal controls, and contribute to related communications and awareness activities, to promote effective control practices across the Charity.
  • Agree and monitor management actions arising from audit work, to ensure agreed improvements are implemented in a timely and effective manner.
  • Contribute to the continuous development of internal audit methodologies, processes, tools, and practices, including the use of digital technologies, data analytics, and automation, to enhance audit quality, efficiency, and insight.
  • Develop and maintain an understanding of the Charity's strategy, transformation programmes, priorities, operating environment, and key risks, while monitoring relevant professional and sector developments, to ensure audit work remains relevant, forward-looking, and focused on areas of greatest risk and value.
  • Collaborate with other assurance providers, including risk, second line assurance, External Audit, and specialist regulators, to support a coordinated assurance approach, identify assurance gaps, and reduce duplication of effort.

Requirements

  • Internal and/or external audit experience, including planning and delivering risk-based audits and evaluating governance, risk management, and internal control frameworks.
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trusted relationships, influence, and constructively challenge stakeholders at all levels, including senior leaders.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and judgement skills, with the ability to assess risk, interpret complex information, and develop practical, evidence-based recommendations.
  • Experience producing high-quality audit reports and insights that support effective decision-making, drive continuous improvement, and deliver meaningful organisational value.
  • Strong organisational skills and a proactive approach to innovation, with the ability to manage multiple priorities and leverage data analytics, automation, and digital tools to enhance audit effectiveness and efficiency.
  • Professional audit, accounting, or related expertise, demonstrated through a relevant qualification (or equivalent experience), knowledge of audit standards and methodologies, and an understanding of, or willingness to develop expertise in, governance, risk management, and emerging risks within a complex organisation.
  • Must be eligible to work in the UK.
