Shropshire Council,
We are currently finalising the development of a new recruitment system and are therefore unable to receive applications for this vacancy.
Our new recruitment system will be live on Monday 7th September, at which point an online application can be submitted.
We are a high performing, modern internal audit service; looking to recruit an experienced professional to a Principal Auditor role. An opportunity like this does not come up very often and we are therefore looking for applicants with enthusiasm and a willingness to be flexible as they help to deliver a diverse range of internal audits across Council services and to our external clients. The Internal Audit team is professional, supportive, forward thinking and keen to deliver the best professional service to our clients and for our auditors to maximise their career progression and job satisfaction in delivery of the service. This role is pivotal to supporting both the delivery and development of such a service.
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.

It is essential that successful candidates have a relevant degree or equivalent qualification (CCAB, CMIIA or CIA qualified or equivalent) and relevant demonstrable experience. Applicants should have extensive experience of audit at a senior level and management experience.
