Job description
Internal Audit contribute to the Environment Agency's vision to "Create a better place for people and wildlife" by reviewing the adequacy and effectiveness of corporate governance, risk management and internal control. No two audits are the same and cover novel and interesting topics that extend across the whole of the Environment Agency. One day you could be looking at flood defences and the next waste enforcement.

You will also provide excellent leadership and line management support to your team members to enable them to be the best they can be and to contribute to the achievement of the team's and Environment Agency's objectives, reflecting our principles and culture.

Experience/skills required

Excellent leadership skills that role model good behaviour and inspires and encourages greatness in others. Strong management skills that can support, direct and develop staff in their day to day activities. A strong understanding and experience of risk and risk based internal auditing. Ability to manage your own time and staff resource effectively and efficiently; proactively identify, expect, and take ownership of issues that could impact on the delivery of your and the wider teams' objectives and provide solutions and options ahead of deadlines. Diverse thought to find practical and realistic solutions that add value to the client. Confident communication and negotiation skills dealing with business colleagues at all grades. Contact and additional information
Interviews to take place early-mid June 2025.



Travel to your base office and other Environment Agency locations will be required in this role.




Everyone that joins us is required to undertake training and participate in incident response duties when the need to respond arises. Having an incident role is an essential part of working for the Environment Agency and an active way to support communities and prevent harm to the environment. Further information on incident response can be found within your candidate pack.
