It is well established, highly regulated, known for its strong brand, inclusive culture and long‑term investment in its people. This is a high‑profile role within the IA team, offering broad exposure across the organisation. You’ll work closely with senior stakeholders and play a key role in delivering risk‑based assurance, insight and practical recommendations that support strategic objectives.

- Keeping technical knowledge up to date with best practice, regulation and industry developments

Experience & Background
- Proven experience in internal audit, assurance, risk or a related control function
- Experience delivering audits in complex, multi‑site or professional services environments
