JOB PURPOSE

The role of a Risk Assurance Trainee is to conduct an independent review of the client’s operations, providing recommendations that are proportional and in line with industry best practice.

As a Risk Assurance Trainee, your time will be split between working at client premises, working in the office and studying for your professional exams.

During your first year you will:

  • Learn how to undertake fieldwork using a range of tools and methods in order to review and provide recommendations on the client’s business operations.
  • Develop a thorough understanding of the nature of the clients’ business, industry best practice, and applicable regulations.
  • Be able to obtain relevant information from clients whilst building effective rapport with clients’ staff.

During your second year you will:

  • Be able to take ownership for a whole client review.
  • Self-review your own-work, ensuring minimal review points are raised by managers.
  • Be able to provide assistance to junior team members.

In your final year you will be expected to be responsible for planning internal audit work programmes and delivery of fieldwork, including participating in closing meetings with management. In addition, it is expected that a third year trainee will provide on the job advice, training and supervision of junior staff. This will include acting as a point of contact for both management and clients, ensuring that the work is completed within the stated deadlines.

THE PERSON

  • Interpersonal skills; the ability to build client relationships with a foundation of trust and responsibility.
  • Analytical skills; the ability to think critically, research and solve problems.
  • Commitment to self-development & learning.
  • Affinity with our values; in particular, respect for individuals, diversity and integrity.
  • A willingness to travel both nationally and internationally.

Strong academic performance is important so we know that you’re ready to take your professional exams. However, we understand things don’t always go to plan – so if you don’t meet our minimum requirements, please let us know if you have any exceptional achievements or extenuating circumstances which affected your results. We also consider your achievements in the context of your socio-economic background, so encourage you to submit your contextual information.
