Graduate Internal Auditor – Internal Audit Management & Consultancy - Cannock
A great opportunity has become available for a graduate in Internal Audit Management & Consultancy. You will be joining a growing Internal Auditing business in Cannock, a company with a successful track record of developing junior Internal Auditors into more senior positions with more responsibility, which will help develop your career.
To begin with, you will need to be in the office daily, but once you have been fully trained, the role will become hybrid, meaning you will only need to be in the office a couple of days a week.
Specifically, we are looking for you to hold an MSc in Internal Audit Management & Consultancy. We are open to candidates who have recently graduated or individuals who have moved into a role but have perhaps not been offered the development they expected in an Internal Auditor role. If you are a recent graduate, any placements during your education would be advantageous.
The company will develop your career, primarily focusing on Internal Auditing for local government, charity, and public services organisations. Previous individuals who have joined the business have gone on to develop into more senior roles.
In addition, you will be rewarded with an excellent starting salary, the ability to work from home (once trained), and a benefits package. You will be given a career track that will include obtaining industry qualifications that will help advance your career in the future.
I anticipate significant interest in this role, so I suggest you make an application now or miss out.
For more information, please feel free to call Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices recruitment and Scientific recruitment specialists at Newton Colmore, on +44 121 268 2240, or make an application, and one of our team members at Newton Colmore will contact you.
Newton Colmore Consulting is a specialist recruitment company within the Medical Devices, Scientific Engineering, Data Science, Machine Learning, Scientific Software, Robotics, Science, Electronics Design, New Product Design, Human Factors, Regulatory Affairs, Quality Assurance, and Field Service Engineering sectors.

The company provides internal auditing services for a range of organisations, mainly in public sector services, charity, and local government sectors. It would be useful if you have experience in these fields; however, if your internal auditing experience has been varied, it would be good to hear from you.
You will need to have at least 12 months of experience as an Internal Auditor; however, we are open to candidates who have more experience, as the role can be developed into a Senior Internal Auditor role for someone with five plus years of experience.
It would be great if you have any industry qualifications in Internal Auditing or are working towards any qualifications. The company will help with your qualifications when needed and has been involved with different industry bodies in the past.
This company has a track record of developing the careers of their staff. If you show initiative and have a productive work rate, hitting deadlines within budget, you can expect regular pay reviews and career opportunities.
Apart from an interesting career path, you will be rewarded with an excellent starting salary, pay reviews, bonus, and other excellent benefits.
Due to the opportunities this role provides, I’m expecting a lot of interest. So, if you are interested, I suggest making an application now or risk missing out.
