Online application

Our application process is a mix of a short application form and the submission of your CV and a short covering letter detailing your interest in the role.

We are looking for candidates who not only meet our academic criteria but are showing a clear interest in the programme and the public sector. In writing your covering letter ensure that you tell us a little about yourself and the skills and experiences you have and how those will help you in the trainee role. We want to see evidence of your commitment to the public sector and to earning and learning as a trainee accountant.

We are always impressed by people who are enthusiastic about the work of the Wales Audit Office and how they feel they can contribute to it, so we would encourage you to do some research and think about how you picture yourself working with us.

Once completed, your application is marked by our trained screeners. If you meet the minimum mark required, you will be progressed to Stage 2, the completion of psychometric tests.

 Tip: The application form is your opportunity to sell yourself and set yourself apart from other applicants. Try and ensure to that you understand the role, and the organisation and this is reflected in the covering letter.
