Our reputation is built on reliability, compliance, and strong relationships - this role sits right at the heart of that.
The Role
As a Compliance Officer, you will play a central role in managing contractor compliance, supporting consultants, and ensuring smooth onboarding and payroll processes. You’ll be dealing with both systems and people - so attention to detail and strong communication are equally important.

* Chasing, verifying, and managing contractor timesheets to ensure accurate and timely payment
* Building relationships with contractors through regular check-ins, ensuring satisfaction and retention
* Gathering references and maintaining accurate compliance records
* Preparing and processing documentation in line with framework and audit requirements
* Ensuring all compliance standards and deadlines are consistently met
What We’re Looking For
* Strong organisational skills with high attention to detail
* Confident communicator, both written and verbal
* Proactive mindset with the ability to take ownership of tasks
* Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
* Comfortable working with systems, processes, and deadlines
* Previous recruitment or compliance experience is beneficial, but not essential
What You’ll Get
* Competitive base salary with performance-based incentives
* Clear training and development pathway within recruitment
* A supportive, team-driven environment
* Flexible working options post-probation
* Monthly incentives and team rewards
* Relaxed, positive office culture (including Dress Down Fridays)
If you’re someone who takes pride in getting the detail right, enjoys working with people, and wants to build a career within recruitment - this is a strong opportunity to join a business that’s growing and making a real impact in the social work sector.
