Are you looking to make a real impact as an Auditor by upholding quality and information security at a national level?

In this role, you’ll be part of the NHS SBS Risk, Assurance and Quality Team, working across the organisation to make sure the right levels of assurance are in place. You’ll support the planning, delivery and ongoing management of our internal audit programmes for ISO standards, currently ISO9001 Quality Management System and ISO27001 Information Security Management System.

You will be the go-to person for colleagues across the organisation, providing guidance, support and coordination on a range of assurance topics. Joining a collaborative, supportive team that works closely with internal stakeholders and external auditors. The work is varied, detail-focused and genuinely valuable – helping to ensure NHS SBS continues to meet international standards and deliver trusted, high-quality services.

We value flexibility and understand the importance of a healthy work–life balance. As such, we offer a hybrid working approach. Attendance is required once weekly in our Leeds or Southampton office, with additional onsite presence during auditing.

What you’ll be doing:

• Establishing, implementing and maintaining internal audit programmes for ISO standards NHS SBS is certified to, in line with international requirements.
• Planning audits to ensure full coverage of all clauses and scope areas within each three-year certification cycle.
• Conducting internal audits at planned intervals to assess conformance and effective implementation of management systems.
• Monitoring audit actions through to completion and ensuring emerging risks are reflected in the audit programme.
• Sharing the three-year audit programme and keeping stakeholders informed throughout the audit process.
• Supporting with queries arising from internal and external audit or surveillance activities.

What you’ll bring:

• ISO auditor training, covering ISO9001 or ISO27001 (training can be provided if you have one qualification).
• Ability to follow ISO19011 auditing guidelines.
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to analyse and interpret data.
• Excellent interpersonal skills and the ability to build effective relationships.
• Confidence to use initiative and apply sound judgement.
• Strong Excel, Word and PowerPoint skills.

It would be great if you had:

• Experience or a qualification in enterprise risk management.
• Understanding of wider assurance frameworks, including ISAE3402 and internal audit programmes.
