Senior Internal Auditor (PO2)
Enfield Council
Who You Are
Are you an experienced internal auditor ready to take on a challenging and rewarding role within a highly regarded team? If so, we'd love to hear from you. You'll bring a strong audit background and may already hold or be working towards a CCAB accountancy qualification, CMIIA, CIA, or QIAL (or equivalent). You'll be confident managing a varied workload and navigating competing priorities with professionalism and resilience. Relationship building is key to this role, and you'll have the credibility and confidence to engage effectively with colleagues across the Council, alongside the leadership skills to support and guide junior staff.
What the Job Involves
Reporting to the Internal Audit Manager, you'll lead on a portfolio of complex and high-profile audits, while supervising an Internal Auditor. You'll work closely with stakeholders across all Council departments, schools, partner organisations, and local authority trading companies, making a real impact across the organisation. We offer a hybrid working model, with a minimum of two days per week based at Council premises. Local authority experience is desirable but not essential.
