Do you have passion, energy and a commitment to improve the lives of the citizens of Wales then a career training as a chartered accountant at Audit Wales, the public sector watchdog for Wales may be what you are looking for! We are looking for the future leaders within the public sector in Wales; and are genuinely interested in who you are, your strengths and your potential. We currently have vacancies in our North Wales team.
You will follow a four-year fixed-term graduate training programme to train to become a chartered accountant with the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW). You will work with our teams across Wales, to deliver a variety of audit services and help scrutinise and improve public services.
In addition, our Graduate Programme offers the unique development opportunity to undertake secondments; this could be internally or across the wider Public Sector and to other publicly funded organisations and qualification with a level 3 award from the Institute of Leadership and Management.
Public sector bodies in North Wales are spread from west to east but our team generally work locally to where they live, although currently due to the COVID pandemic we are continuing to work predominantly at home with only 1-2 days spent in the office. You could find yourself working with councils, Betsi Cadwaladr Local Health Board, and North Wales Police and Fire services – this is just a hint of the experience you could gain.
However, we can guarantee that no two days will be the same and you will join an organisation committed to supporting the development of finance leaders of the future.
Further information about the role can be found in our recruitment pack.
