Internal Audit Apprentice Level 4

No two days will be the same. One assignment might involve looking at how a school manages its finances, while another could focus on a major project, contract or grant-funded programme.

You will:

• Support audit reviews across Bristol City Council services and schools.
• Gather, review and analyse information from a variety of sources.
• Help identify risks, controls and opportunities for service improvement.
• Assist with testing systems, processes and controls.
• Maintain accurate records and audit documentation.
• Communicate professionally with colleagues and stakeholders.
• Support the development of recommendations that help improve services.
• Use digital tools including Microsoft Word, Excel, Outlook and Teams.
• Handle sensitive information professionally and confidentially.
• Work towards completing your Level 4 Internal Audit Technician Apprenticeship.

On successful completion of the apprenticeship, you will have developed the knowledge, skills and experience needed to progress into an Internal Auditor role or pursue further opportunities within risk management, governance, compliance, counter-fraud and other assurance-related careers.
