While the NHS is often ready to respond to these challenges, the support provided by internal audit helps give Chief Executives, and Boards the assurance that their risk management, control processes and governance arrangements are ready to meet these demands and support the delivery of quality patient services.
We have skilled staff delivering over reviews annually, across all organisations that form NHS Wales, supporting organisational governance and improvement. You should be an individual with the attributes to thrive as an internal auditor in this challenging, varied, and complex environment.
As a self-motivated individual, you should embrace our vision of delivering excellence and value for money.
