About the Role
About the Scheme
The Group Internal Audit Department (GIAD) plays a key role in helping NFU Mutual protect its assets, reputation and long-term future. Audits involve working closely with colleagues across NFU Mutual to understand their business area, review potential risks, assess existing controls, and recommend improvements.
Through this three-year scheme, you’ll gain hands-on experience across a range of audits and internal projects. You will learn to review information, ask questions, share clear recommendations, and take on increasing responsibility.
You’ll be part of a supportive culture, learning from experienced colleagues and developing alongside others. You will work towards becoming a qualified Chartered Internal Auditor.
What you can expect
Over the three-year scheme, you’ll:
- Shadow audits in your first year and learn the key stages of the audit process.
- Support audits as your knowledge and confidence grow.
- Build towards leading audits from start to finish by the end of your first year.
- Develop your stakeholder management, project delivery, and communication skills.
- Receive on-the-job training and work towards becoming a fully qualified Chartered Internal Auditor.
- Support projects and initiatives that help GIAD continue to improve.
- Work in a collaborative team that values your input and supports your growth.
