About Us: The Southern Internal Audit Partnership (SIAP) provide internal audit and consultancy services to a wide and growing portfolio of public sector partners and clients in the South of England. We pride ourselves on delivering an innovative, customer focused service aligned to the business needs of our clients and to achieving improved outcomes.

We also offer part time opportunities and operate flexi time to allow employees the opportunity for a flexible approach to their working hours. Your Skills: You will be eager to learn, determined and adaptable and have excellent interpersonal and communication skills – both oral and written. With the ability to absorb information quickly, you will also be able to identify and analyse problems in a logical and effective way.
