We are a service of 38 auditors, with a wide range of skills and experience. We are unique in that the entire service delivers work not only to their own sovereign authority but also to other partners, clients and customers, which maximises the impact, efficiency and effectiveness of our service and resources. This creates great opportunities for everyone within the service to learn and understand how different organisations work.

We are responsible for providing assurance to our clients in relation to internal control, governance, and risk management, supporting each organisation to achieve its overall objectives. We invest hugely in developing new Internal Auditors, both internally and externally by offering support through buddying, mentoring and coaching, on the job training, and access to a wide variety of professional and personal development opportunities.

About the Role

As an Internal Auditor, you will assist in the delivery of audit and assurance activities in accordance with recognised professional standards (currently Public Sector Internal Audit Standards). These activities will include supporting more senior staff in conducting formal audit reviews or delivering reviews under the supervision of more senior audit staff. Formal audit reviews generally involve the documenting of systems and processes, identification and evaluation of risk and control, testing and analysis, report writing and agreement of appropriate actions, along with the provision of advice, support and challenge to clients on risk governance and internal control matters.

To support you we have developed a robust induction programme to give you access to the skills and training you will need to be successful in the role. You will need to possess the flexibility and skills to receive a hybrid induction.

You will be self-motivated and able to work on their own initiative and within a team. You will have a willingness to learn and will be able to demonstrate how your current skill set can transfer to the role of Internal Auditor.

The ability to undertake work to specified timeframes and budgets is crucial as is the ability to develop excellent client relationship skills remotely and in person.

To apply, alongside your CV, you will be asked to answer the following questions. Each response should aim to be approximately 300 words or within 1500 characters.

• Please give an example of a major risk specific to one of the services delivered by this Council and identify how the Council might seek to reduce the risk.
• What do you think has been the greatest technological advancement for councils in the last five years and why?

The job advert closes at 23:59 on 31/08/2025 with interviews planned to take place in-person on the 15th and 16th September at Woodhatch Place, Reigate.

Work Permits

We may be able to obtain a Work Permit for this post, but this is subject to meeting the requirements of the UK Border Agency's Points-based Immigration System. From 6 April 2011 the Home Office has placed a permanent restriction on the number of migrant workers that all Tier 2 (General) Sponsors can recruit. Due to the restrictions we cannot guarantee that individuals that meet the requirements of the Points-based Immigration System will be issued with clearance to obtain work permits.

Local Government Reorganisation

Surrey County Council is preparing for Local Government Reorganisation which will allow us to implement the Government led policy of devolution, which is all about giving more powers to local areas.

Currently, Surrey has a two-tier council system, with 11 district and borough councils and a county council, all responsible for different services. All these councils will be reorganised into a smaller number of new unitary councils which will come into effect in April 2027. At this point, this role will be transferred, with all existing terms and conditions intact into one of the new unitary councils.

Join our dynamic team and shape the future of local government. Make a lasting impact with innovative solutions and improved services for our community. Help us build a brighter future for our residents!

Our Commitment

Surrey County Council is proud to be a Disability Confident Employer. A guaranteed interview will be offered to all disabled applicants where:

• The candidate has evidenced the minimum criteria for the role through their application
• The candidate has chosen to share that they have a disability on the application form

Our application form and onboarding process will provide an opportunity to request any reasonable adjustments for the interview and/or the role. We want to be an inclusive and diverse employer reflecting the community we serve and particularly welcome applications from all underrepresented groups.
