Welcome

Thank you for your interest in Southend-on-Sea Borough Council during what is an exciting time for the Borough as we work to secure the delivery of our Southend 2050 Ambition.

We have listened to our residents and together developed Southend 2050 - our Ambition for the next 30 years to keep our residents safe and well in a thriving, active and well-connected community. As part of this Ambition we are shaping a radical new approach for our Council and are transforming our services to grow a sustainable community and thriving organisation that benefits from new technologies.

The internal audit team gets involved in all aspects of the Council’s activities, and we are currently seeking a new Senior Auditor as part of re-building a progressive, energetic, creative and supportive Internal Audit team to influence the approach to a range of services to help add value, drive improvement, mitigate risk and facilitate the ambitions of Southend-on-Sea. We are working together to create a new outcome focused organisation, working in flexible and agile ways to effectively manage resource and demand. Employees are being empowered to make decisions and think commercially to help drive forward positive change. The team also delivers internal audit to Castle Point Borough Council, South Essex Homes and Southend Care, so you will have the opportunity to work across different councils and organisations to build further experience as you deliver against our objectives.

Southend-on-Sea Borough Council are looking for people to drive positive change whilst delivering results, leading by example to build great relationships within the organisation and beyond. If you would like to be part of this exciting journey and have any questions about Southend-on-Sea Borough Council or would like more details about the current vacancies in internal audit, please contact Lucy West, Senior Business Director, Public Services, at Hays.
