Project Reactivate Opportunities

About You

• Do you like to help others resolving problems?
• Can you see how things could be done more effectively?
• Do your friends come to you for advice and your opinion?
• Are you an analytical thinker, who is looking for a new career?

If the answers to any of the above is “Yes”, perhaps you are ready for a change from what you are currently doing?; or maybe you are looking to return to work after having a career break? You may also be looking for a role where you can develop your skills and learning to progress?
If this sounds like you, then a career in Internal Audit may be for you.

Our teams are made up of people from a wide range of backgrounds including retail, teaching, engineering, legal, military or a whole variety of other life experiences.

If you like learning new things, working in a team and being able to develop your skills to help our clients to improve their organisations, then this could be the role for you.

What we are looking for

You will have good people skills and be comfortable working either alone or as part of a team on assignments and eventually, dealing with clients.

Key skills include having attention to detail and the desire for continuous learning.
We realise that you won’t necessarily have studied for a relevant professional qualification. Therefore, RSM can offer training support for internal audit or team specific qualifications, if that is something you are interested in.

You will also be able to learn and develop a good knowledge of individual subjects and sector issues relevant to your work to be able to support other team members as required to ensure compliance with relevant regulation and internal audit standards.

What we do

Our work is very client focussed and no two days are the same.

Our work centres on understanding the risks an organisation is facing and providing assurance on how well they manage those risks. Based on our findings, we work with our clients to identify actions to manage risk better.

We employ a host of tools and techniques to do our work and you will develop a wide range of analytical and soft skills, underpinned by a training framework as well as a mentoring programme.

We value the people that make our teams and we support all our colleagues to make their career into one that works for them as part of their lives.

We will deliver flexibility in your time. This can be hours in the day - so you are around to manage school runs or appointments. We offer job sharing, part-time hours or even condensing hours. We will work with you to identify the working pattern that suits you best.

You will be involved in the delivery of internal audit services to a wide range of clients, across the public and corporate sectors. You’ll have the opportunity to develop and progress (in line with your own aspirations) and manage junior staff and further develop your internal audit knowledge and experience.

During the first few months, you will be integrated into the team and understand the ways of working, processes and therefore start to develop a better understanding of a career within Internal Audit. This will be accompanied by the opportunity to begin studying a professional qualification (CIA).

Minimum Qualifications

Key Responsibilities

• Undertake assignments by conducting interviews, reviewing documentation, completing testing and recording what you have done
• Regularly communicating with clients both virtually and in person
• Writing up what you have found during your testing and preparing draft reports
• Undertake follow-up review work to see how our clients have implemented actions
• Working with the team to deliver assignments in timeframes and budgets
• At first you will have close supervision whilst you learn the methodology, moving to removed supervision as you become more experienced.
