Lithia UK's vision and associated strategy is to transform automotive retail through digital innovation and operational excellence. This is a great time to join Lithia UK. We are going through such a transformational and exciting time for the business.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking to start or progress their career in a professional and supportive Internal Audit function. We are passionate about personal development and our team structure provides ample opportunity for career progression. Comprehensive on the job technical training will be provided, as well as the opportunity to continue your professional development.
Internal Audit at Lithia UK is an independent and objective assurance and consulting activity, guided by a philosophy of adding value to improve the operations of Lithia UK. We assist the organisation in accomplishing its objectives by bringing a systematic and disciplined approach to evaluate and improve the effectiveness of the organisation's risk management, control, and governance processes. We are a progressive team who are passionate about the value Internal Audit can add to an organisation.
Each week you would typically carry out one store audit, with your week split between remote working up to 2 days (choice of home-based or at a local store), and 3 days at the audited store. Depending on your home location, we have a number of dealerships that will be within commutable distance, but as we are a nationwide operation some audits will require hotel stays. We are dedicated to helping our team maintain a healthy work/life balance and every endeavour is made to plan and minimise any periods of consecutive weekly overnight stays. Applicants residing in the following areas have access to our largest number of commutable locations: Nottinghamshire/Derbyshire, Yorkshire and the Northeast.
