Job summary

Previous applicants need not apply again.

Audit and Assurance Services is a division of NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP). We deliver professional internal audit, assurance and consulting service 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.

Main duties of the job

The Internal Audit Manager role within the Specialist Services Unit provides the opportunity to work across a range of NHS Wales organisations and be responsible for supporting the development and delivery of audits plans and managing a portfolio of project and estates assurance audit assignments, as well as delivering complex high-level reviews of risks, strategies, and governance structures, Quality & Safety Arrangements, financial management and service provision within directorates.

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.

We believe this is a great opportunity for the right candidate, and the recent external quality assessment of our service by the Chartered Institute of Internal Auditors demonstrates that we are delivering a quality service to all of our clients.

We work in probably the most high-profile public service in Wales, and this is a great time to join NHS Wales.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; Welsh and/or English speakers are equally welcome to apply.
