Risk and Assurance Auditor, Trainee
Department: Assurance & Risk
Employment Type: Permanent
Location: Ipswich
Description
Are you looking for a new challenge with a firm that has a passion for personal development and will support you in growing your skills? We have an excellent opportunity for a conscientious and driven individual with an enquiring mind to join our team as a Trainee Risk and Assurance Auditor.
Are you a problem solver? A career in Risk and Assurance (Internal Audit) provides an opportunity to assist organisations in managing their key risks and enable them to achieve their goals. Can you see yourself meeting with clients, discussing their processes, communicating any weaknesses in the process, (think about risks, such as fraud!) give ideas how to resolve the current issues seen and confirm they are following expectations? This is what we do!
We operate this service across several key areas of the organisation, including Human Resources, staff wellbeing, and financial processes. You'll be involved in audits that help ensure recruitment is fair, wellbeing initiatives are meaningful, and budgets are well managed. Along the way, you'll keep an eye out for fraud risks and red flags, learning what to watch for both inside and outside our clients' organisations.
Are you more compliance driven and are passionate about best practice? We complete compliance audits of Cyber Security and IT Infrastructure, Estates Management, Funding Compliance, GDPR and Health and Safety, amongst others.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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 searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
In joining the team, you will be shadowing our auditors for an introductory period to get you used to what we do. You will then move into assisting on audits and completing whole audits individually, with assistance and support from the team across a range of areas. Should you develop a particular affinity with an area, that could become your specialism in the team.
We have access to our clients' most senior staff and to their Board. We are seen as a partner, a trusted adviser and critical friend. A successful candidate will be comfortable engaging with individuals at every level of an organisation, building positive relationships from the CEO to frontline teams and everyone in between.
Skills, Knowledge & Expertise
Whilst prior experience in an Internal Audit setting isn't needed, we're seeking an individual with the following skills:
- Strong attention to detail
- Ability to work to deadlines and multitask
- Strong communication skills both internally and externally
- Ability to analyse processes and procedures - this is key when conducting audits with our clients
- An analytical and solutions-focused mindset - this role involves examining information in detail and actively finding ways to help clients improve processes and efficiency.
- Ability to adapt to different subject specialisms and workplans
Our portfolio of clients is primarily based across the Eastern, South-Eastern and London areas. Though most of our auditing is remote, there will be occasions that you are asked to travel on site and so access to a car would be necessary.
