Not just another building society. Not just another job. We’re the fourth biggest building society in the UK and what makes us a bit different is that we’re a mutual organisation. We don’t have shareholders; we’re owned by our members. Our colleagues say Skipton’s a great place to work – and you could be one of them, bringing with you new ideas on how we can keep customers at the heart of what we do.

You’ll be joining our Group Internal Audit (GIA) function – the third line of defence within Skipton Building Society. We provide independent insight, assurance and opinions to stakeholders at all levels within the Group. Our work supports the Society in achieving its strategic aims by taking an agile approach to evaluating risk management, control and governance processes, protecting our members and customers.

As part of the GIA team, you will work across the following businesses within the Skipton Group:

• Skipton Building Society – the UK’s 4th largest building society
• Connells Group – the UK’s largest estate agency group providing property services such as estate agency, mortgage services, lettings, survey and valuations, and conveyancing
• Skipton International Limited – a Guernsey‑based financial services business providing mortgages and savings products
• Jade Software Corporation – a software development business headquartered in Christchurch, New Zealand

As an Auditor, you will support and contribute to a portfolio of audit assignments focused on Prudential & Financial Risk.

• Contribute to the delivery of a range of risk‑focused audit reviews as guided by your leader, ensuring high‑quality and timely delivery in line with GIA methodology and report writing standards.
• Monitor risk data and associated key risk indicators as directed, supporting GIA’s continuous monitoring activities.
• Proactively support GIA’s continuous improvement culture and help strengthen its position as a high‑performing, trusted team.
• Take ownership of your personal development, aligned to the Society’s behaviours framework.
• Communicate, collaborate, inform and influence stakeholders across the Group, including working with fellow auditors, Audit Leads, Senior Audit Leads, SMT and the Group Chief Internal Auditor depending on the assignment.

We’re looking for the right person – someone who brings enthusiasm, integrity and a genuine interest in audit and who wants to build a career that makes a real difference.

• Strong attention to detail.
• Ability to build and maintain relationships at all levels.
• Effective verbal and written communication skills.
• Ability to raise queries, challenge constructively and think critically.
• Self‑motivation and enthusiasm to deliver high‑quality outcomes.
• Ability to plan, organise and re‑prioritise around changing workload demands.
• Confidence to work independently while seeking guidance where needed.

• Some understanding of the Prudential and Financial Risk environment, with a desire to grow into a subject matter expert.
• Experience gained through Internal Audit, Financial Services, Banking, Professional Services or within first/second line roles.
• Studying towards, or interested in pursuing, a professional qualification (e.g. accountancy or similar).

• Experience planning and prioritising your own workload to support team objectives.
• Experience in Internal Audit and/or relevant Financial Services risk or control roles.
