Wakefield District Headquarters, Havertop Lane, Normanton (arrangements for hybrid working)
1 full time (37 hours) permanent post
£38,754 - £40,893
Working under the direction of the Head of Audit & Risk and Audit Manager, West Yorkshire Police are seeking to appoint an experienced internal auditor with a proven track record, to assist in the provision of an efficient, effective and independent internal audit service.
The successful candidate will assist in providing assurance to internal and external stakeholders, the Chief Constable and the Section 151 Officer, as to the adequacy of the force’s governance, risk management and internal control processes.
As an internal audit function directly employed by West Yorkshire Police we have a strong profile within the organisation and across the Yorkshire and the Humber (YatH) Region, providing audit services to West Yorkshire Police and the National Police Air Service (NPAS).
Audit work undertaken is risk based and highly varied in nature, with a strong focus on auditing operational policing areas. You could be assisting the force in improving the quality of investigations, considering whether police use of force is appropriate, or assessing the management of risk within specialist policing departments such as Protective Services Crime or Operational Support.
Working as lead auditor under minimal supervision you will be allocated a range of audit tasks from the Audit Plan, including complex pieces of work, maintaining responsibility for the entire audit process. The ideal candidate will be an internal audit professional with expertise in understanding audit techniques and approaches who is used to delivering reviews to time and quality, with a proven ability to communicate complex, often contentious information to a range of stakeholders, demonstrating excellent written, oral and interpersonal skills.
Candidates will hold the Chartered Internal Auditor designation or an equivalent qualification (e.g. CCAB or CISA qualified) and/or have substantial relevant experience (minimum five years). In addition, you must be prepared to work flexibly to suit the requirements of the department and have an ability and willingness to travel for business purposes.
Please refer to the role profile to ensure that you meet the essential criteria for the post.
The post attracts a generous annual leave entitlement and benefits from hybrid working arrangements, a Flexi Time Scheme and the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS). Please see https://www.westyorkshire.police.uk/jobs-volunteer/benefits for more information.
