Audit And Assurance Services

Audit and Assurance Services is a division of NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP). We deliver professional internal audit, assurance and consulting service across the NHS in Wales, consisting of 12 Health Boards/Trusts, and a number of Special Health Authorities, operating with a budget in excess of £8bn.

A continuously changing and evolving risk landscape, particularly following the Covid pandemic, means that the NHS in Wales faces new and unfamiliar challenges. While the NHS is often ready to respond to these challenges, the support provided by internal audit helps give Chief Executives, and Boards the assurance that their risk management, control processes and governance arrangements are ready to meet these demands and support the delivery of quality patient services.

We have 60 skilled staff delivering over 400 reviews annually, across all organisations that form NHS Wales, supporting organisational governance and improvement. You should be an individual with the attributes to thrive as an internal auditor in this challenging, varied, and complex environment.

As a self-motivated individual, you should embrace our vision of delivering excellence and value for money.

There are two roles available:

37.5 hours - North Wales Team, which is based at Bryn Y Neuadd, Aber Road, Llanfairfechan, Conwy, LL33 0HH

22.5 hours - South East Team, which is based at Cwmbran House, Mamhilad Park Estate, Pontypool, NP4 0HZ

The Audit Manager roles within the North Wales and South East teams provides the opportunity to work across a range of NHS Wales organisations and be responsible for supporting the development and delivery of audits plans and managing a portfolio of audit assignments, as well as delivering complex high-level reviews of risks, strategies, governance structures, quality and safety, financial and workforce management, operational and clinical delivery across our clients.
