An exciting opportunity has arisen for an Internal Audit Manager to join the London Borough of Redbridge’s Internal Audit and Counter Fraud team to take a lead role in the delivery of the Internal Audit service for the council and several third-party organisations.

The primary role of the team is to provide independent, objective assurance to the council’s corporate leadership team and the Governance and Assurance Committee on the robustness of the council’s governance, risk management and internal control arrangements.

Being part of our small, dedicated team will give you the opportunity to work across a varied and interesting range of business areas and activities and help ensure the Internal Team provides a quality, valued and respected audit service through development and motivation of an in-house team and the co-ordination of an external contracted provider.

You will have experience of managing audit teams, backed up by deep understanding of internal audit practices such as the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards. You will need to be able to demonstrate a thorough understanding of risk, control and governance concepts and good practice and how these relate to the work of internal audit.  

You will be able to help ensure we audit what matters and become a trusted advisor to colleagues to drive improvements in risk, control and governance arrangements.

You will use your excellent interpersonal and communications skills to interact with colleagues across all grades, up to senior leader and councillor level.  You must be able to build strong relationships and have well developed influencing and persuasion skills.  The role calls for strong leadership of programmes of work and so must well organised and focused on achieving required outcomes.
