    Working as an ISO Auditor in the UK

    The UK has one of the largest certification markets in Europe, and most audits are carried out by certification bodies accredited by UKAS, the UK's national accreditation body. These organisations employ auditors to assess businesses against standards such as ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 27001, as well as sector schemes in areas such as food safety, construction and utilities.

    UK auditor roles are often field-based. Many employers recruit for a region, such as the South East or the North West, and expect auditors to work from home and travel to client sites, sometimes with a company car. Freelance and subcontract roles paid by the day are also common, particularly for auditors who hold several standards.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Do I Need IRCA Registration to Work as an Auditor in the UK?
    It is not a legal requirement, but many UK certification bodies ask for a lead auditor course certified by CQI and IRCA, and some prefer auditors who hold individual IRCA registration. Check each listing, as requirements vary by employer and by standard.
    What Does UKAS Accreditation Mean for Auditors?
    UKAS checks that certification bodies are competent and impartial. To keep their accreditation, certification bodies must show that their auditors have the right qualifications, sector experience and ongoing training. In practice, this is why UK employers ask for evidence of audit experience and may observe you on audits before approving you to work alone.
    Are Freelance Auditor Roles Common in the UK?
    Yes. Many UK certification bodies use self-employed auditors alongside their employed staff, paying a day rate for each audit. Freelance roles suit experienced lead auditors who can cover several standards, and they appear on this page with the Contract employment type.
