Description

The East Kent Audit Partnership (EKAP) operates between Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone & Hythe, and Thanet councils. The Internal Audit Service is provided to the councils by a single team of eight audit staff.

Dover District Council is the host Authority, and we are currently looking for an additional Auditor, who can expect to work at all the four councils within the partnership; to include working on assignments for East Kent Services.

About the Role:

The work is project based, and there is an agreed brief and time allocation for each individual assignment.

This could be at any of the four council sites, to include main council offices or satellite offices and depots.

Whilst you will have a "home" base, you can expect to work at all four authorities, for which a mileage allowance is applicable.

Each assignment is allocated according to the best match between the skills and experience within the team and the requirements of the brief or area of expertise.

Each assignment requires the Auditor to understand the business focus, the audit role, the structure and formulation of the control environment, risk management and corporate governance requirements.

In exchange for your skills and professionalism we offer flexible working hours, great variety and a broad scope for a person with a naturally enquiring mind who is keen to see the best value for money achieved with public spending.

Who we are looking for:

It is essential that you have excellent communication skills, interpersonal skills, have a 'common sense' approach and the ability to be tactful and diplomatic.

You will also need excellent ICT skills, as you will need to be quick to learn new systems.

You should be able to plan your own workload, be effective working from home and remotely and work equally well on your own initiative as well as part of a team.

You will need to develop your understanding of the Public Sector Internal Audit Standards for your work to comply with professional standards and the code of ethics.

You should also have a full UK driving licence and use of a car.

Closing Date: 22nd December 2023

Interview Date: 10th January 2024
