Help us strengthen assurance, manage risk and delivery better outcomes for our residents.
Are you an experienced internal auditor who enjoys looking beyond the numbers, asking the right questions and helping organisations become stronger and more effective?
We’re looking for a proactive and analytical Internal Auditor to join our Risk & Assurance team at PA Housing. You’ll play an important role in delivering our internal audit programme, providing independent assurance and helping colleagues identify opportunities to strengthen controls, manage risk and improve the way we work.
What’s in it for you….
In addition to the salary, we offer a number of benefits, including:
- High street discount schemes
- Health cash plans
- 26 days’ annual leave, increasing to 29 after three years, with the opportunity to buy more
- Flexible bank holidays – take them when it suits you
- Car leasing scheme
- Hybrid working – offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role. This is flexible and depends on meeting cycles and board activity. We also offer an optional nine-day fortnight scheme, allowing you to compress your hours if it suits the role.

- Provide trusted assurance by identifying risks, testing controls and giving senior leaders confidence that key areas are well managed.
- Work with managers to agree meaningful actions and track recommendations through to completion.
- Build strong relationships across PA Housing, providing constructive challenge while maintaining the independence and integrity of Internal Audit.
