About the company and department
RSM's Fraud Risk Services team provide a range of counter fraud services to public and private sector clients. Many of our clients are NHS bodies, who are required by the NHS Counter Fraud Authority (CFA) to report annually against CFA requirements.

In addition to this our staff are accredited to undertake criminal investigations where our NHS clients are the victim of fraud.

For these organisations we may be asked to undertake any of the tasks listed above, or undertake fact-finding, disciplinary or grievance investigations in to fraud, or theft, bullying harassments, sexual harassment, conflict of interest or any other matter for which our staff have experience.
Some of these assignments may involve an element of overseas travel, although this is not compulsory.
About the job
Our teams are divided in to proactive or reactive as defined by the tasks above, although there is always an element of overlap. You may be required to undertake any of the tasks above, within your skill-set, and will be provided training and guidance in the other areas. Your focus will always be on protecting our clients from the risk of fraud, and prevent future fraud rather than simply sanctioning offenders.

All of your work will be reviewed by more senior staff before being issued.
As a blue you will already have experience in delivering some of the tasks above, and will be confident in speaking with our clients independently. You may be given specific clients for which you will be responsible. This will involve planning and overseeing all work conducted for them, and liaising with their staff at all levels.
As a blue in our reactive team you will be experienced in undertaking investigations independently, you will be able to assess whether a referral justifies a full investigation, set your own lines of enquiry and undertake these autonomously. You will be able to take witness statements and conduct interviews of both witnesses and suspects. Ideally you will have previous experience in presenting criminal prosecutions in both magistrates and the crown court.
About the ideal candidate
Our focus is on quality, so you need to be able to produce a high quality report that adds value. Your should have a high level of attention to detail and be willing to work hard to meet deadlines and financial targets. Our clients pay for the time taken to produce the work, so you need to produce high quality results efficiently.
