Your new employer
We are delighted to be exclusively partnered with Norfolk County Council, at this very key time in their transformation journey, and support them in the recruitment of their Senior Internal Audit Manager position. Norfolk County Council provides services countywide to more than 850,000 residents. Norfolk has a growing economy and is a great place to live, work and visit. It offers miles of beautiful coastline, the unique Norfolk Broads, thriving market towns and a city with a proud cultural heritage.
Your new role
This is a truly exciting opportunity, offering something slightly different to most Internal Audit Management roles!
Norfolk County Council has ambitious plans to bring change and transformation.
As part of the Norfolk Audit Services management team, you will help shape and deliver audit strategies for the County Council and Norfolk Pension Fund. Those strategies will provide assurance to the Audit & Governance Committee and Executive Leaders that internal controls, risk management, governance and counter-fraud work are sound, effective and bring best value.
As well as leading and reviewing the most complex audit cases, you will be key to this transformation in the audit team and, as a result, the team's wider impact across the Council's departments.
You will also drive forward new projects such as: implementing new Global IIA standards, ensuring successful external quality assessments, moving forward our agile working, and our data analytics approach to identify key risks and areas of focus for the team.
You will be "the face of audit" and a trusted advisor, building relationships across the Council and helping to find better ways of working.
Where required, you will act as a Deputy to the Chief Internal Auditor representing him at Committees, and be key in implementing organisational change, managing an agile Audit team, finding smarter, new ways of working, to deliver a first-class, value-added audit service to the Council.
What you'll need to succeed
You will be an experienced and qualified (CCAB or CIIA) Internal Audit Manager, with a number of years' experience working in a Local Government (or similar) setting and have the personal qualities and influencing skills to really make things happen.
Ideally, you will have worked in environments experiencing some or all of the following in your previous positions:
change, transformation, projects and, data analytics.
You will require sound technical know-how, business knowledge; complimented with excellent people and leadership skills, with the ability, skills and character to build trust and rapport in person and remotely and make a big impact.
You will also need to be innovative, coming up with, and implementing, new ideas, and you will need the drive to put those ideas into practice and make things happen!
The post-holder must hold a full driving licence and be confident and comfortable travelling to locations both inside and outside of Norfolk if required.
What you'll get in return
For the right candidate, if living further away, relocation expenses will be on offer (terms and conditions apply)
A competitive salary, ranging from £53,802 to £59,196 per annum (dependent on experience)
The Council want their people to be inspired and motivated to work well together, make the most of their workspaces, enjoy a healthy work-life balance, and deliver excellent services to Norfolk and its people. Flexibility is built into the way of work, with hybrid working a key feature for many roles, including this one. The technology platform and equipment are first class, enabling you to connect and collaborate remotely.

For this role, some in-person, office-based meetings are required. In addition to attendance at formal meetings, such as committee meetings, team meetings for collaboration, take place once a fortnight, in person (every other Wednesday). You will also need to have the flexibility to be present in the office according to the needs of the team and additional work arising as a result of unpredicted events, for example, a fraud investigation.
Local Government Pension Scheme (Non-contributory, with employer's contribution of 15.5%)
