We have a lot to offer but we also expect a lot and our standards are high. We are looking to recruit talented people who can make a real contribution to our success.

So who are we looking for?

Academic

You will need to have attained at least the following:-

300 UCAS points (or equivalent)*
a 2.1 degree or better in any subject.

*Please note, that we only consider a candidate’s 'top' 3 A-level grades (or equivalent) and General Studies does not count. 

If you were educated outside of the UK, please state the actual qualifications you obtained without translating to equivalents. Our team will match your grades to our requirements.

Skills and talents

Of course, academic achievement isn’t enough on its own. You will need to have strong analytical skills combined with the ability to work with others and to present and influence with impact and passion. You will be excited about what the National Audit Office is all about and you’ll have the ‘get up and go’ to achieve results in a highly professional environment.

Nationality

You must be a UK, Commonwealth, EEA or Swiss national to comply with Civil Service nationality rules.

Please do not submit an application if you do not meet these requirements.
