We are currently looking for an Assurance Consultant to join us on a permanent basis in either our Alderley Edge or Edinburgh office.

This is a vital position in our organisation, as it will require you to monitor and evaluate all key operations and processes, identifying any potential risks or areas for improvement. Additionally, you will provide guidance and recommendations to management on how to enhance operational efficiency and effectiveness.
