We are seeking managers with experience of local government to join our Grants and Other Assurance national team.
Grants Assurance is a specialist team with 30 members across the UK and India. As part of the team, you’ll be managing assignments with public bodies, government departments, national services, commercial organisations and not for profit organisations such as Universities.
Let’s talk about the job:

Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll experience with us:

• Hands on experience in the different aspects of Grants Assurance, with a variety of clients, from Local Authorities to multinational companies and Government bodies
• You’ll get experience working on all kinds of assurance assignments that range from a few days to up to five weeks with work including examining financial records or carrying out audit procedures.

• Experience of delivering complex Housing Benefit assignments across the last 5 years.
• Ability to work independently, summarise information from a wide range of sources to draw conclusions, and manage client relationships including senior officers.

The Grants and Other Assurance team has a national profile, and therefore we are not tied to candidates from a particular region.
Beyond the job
The impact you can make here will go far beyond your day job. From secondments, to fundraising for local charities, or investing in entrepreneurs in the developing world, you’ll be giving back to society. It’s that drive to do the right thing that runs through our every move, grounded in our firm’s values – purposefully driven, actively curious and candid but kind.
We’re looking for people who want to contribute, spark fresh ideas and go beyond expectations. People who want to be able to proudly do what’s right, for the firm, our clients, our people and themselves. It’s how it should be.
