Audit and Assurance Services is a division of NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP). We deliver professional internal audit, assurance, and consulting services across the NHS in Wales, consisting of 12 Health Boards/Trusts, and a number of Special Health Authorities, operating with a budget in excess of £8bn.
A continuously changing and evolving risk landscape, particularly following the Covid pandemic, means that the NHS in Wales faces new and unfamiliar challenges. While the NHS is often ready to respond to these challenges, the support provided by internal audit helps give Chief Executives, and Boards the assurance that their risk management, control processes, and governance arrangements are ready to meet these demands and support the delivery of quality patient services.
We have 60 skilled staff delivering over 400 reviews annually, across all organisations that form NHS Wales, supporting organisational governance and improvement. You should be an individual with the attributes to thrive as an internal auditor in this challenging, varied, and complex environment.
As a self-motivated individual, you should embrace our vision of delivering excellence and value for money.

Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
