Senior Compliance Manager

West Dereham, United Kingdom National Farmers Union Full time

Salary c. £60k per annum

Based in Wissington, Norfolk

Contract type: Permanent

Do you want to do something that makes a difference?

You will fulfil a role that is unique, mandated by law and critical to the livelihoods of thousands of farmers in Great Britain.

Intrigued? Well… there’s only one company in the UK that processes sugar beet; it’s called British Sugar plc. So even if a farmer believes they’re not being paid fairly for the quality of the product they deliver to the processor, there’s nowhere else they can sell it. And that makes things tricky.

Which is where the National Farmers Union comes in. We work with growers of sugar beet, and on their behalf, to ensure they are paid fairly for what they deliver - between 7-8 million tonnes each year. That’s a lot of beet, and a lot of money at stake. Which is why we have a team of 16 seasonal staff based in British Sugar’s four factories who monitor every load of sugar beet delivered and sampled, and monitor the analysis of those samples (which determines what growers are paid).

What you’ll be doing

The Senior Compliance Manager recruits, trains and leads the 16 strong seasonal team each year, to ensure growers are always paid fairly by British Sugar for what they deliver.

The working year is split into two distinct halves.

During the six month ‘campaign’ - usually from September to March - you and your team will ensure that the many and varied agreed procedures and processes are followed by British Sugar staff. You will also manage the formal review process when growers challenge the fairness of their payments.

It's your responsibility to ensure your team knows what to do and how to do it, so you’ll need to get up-to-speed quickly and be clear and consistent, leading by example.

This is an operational role within a large-scale manufacturing environment, so experience of all that entails (e.g. health and safety) is critical.

You will be based at the largest British Sugar processing site (in Wissington, near Kings Lynn) but will travel regularly to the other three sites (in Newark, Cantley and Bury St Edmunds) to support your team.

Outside of the ‘campaign’ period, in addition to preparing for the next one (they come round quickly) there is much more flexibility and the real opportunity for you to increase your skillset and experience by working on other aspects of NFU Sugar’s broad agenda.

About you

You will have experience of:

·       Compliance / Quality assurance roles within the manufacturing environment

·       Line management experience within an operational environment

We’re looking for someone who:

·       Has real integrity and the determination to do the job right

·       Is diplomatic and tactful, but persuasive

·       Role models daily what good looks like to their team

·       Is resilient and able to think and operate effectively under pressure

·       Has excellent attention to detail and an analytical mindset

·       Is comfortable working on their own initiative and taking responsibility

·       Communicates technical and non-technical information effectively no matter what the medium or who the audience is

About the NFU

We shape attitudes towards British farming and lead the charge on a range of major issues, from climate change and food standards to rural crime and broadband rollout.

NFU’s ‘sugar’ team delivers the NFU’s specific mandate to represent the interests of all the UK’s 2,500 sugar beet growers in their relationship with British Sugar (the only processor of sugar beet in the UK).

What we can offer you

Join us and you’ll find an organisation that encourages and enables you to achieve your full potential. We’ll support you in building a career that balances your professional ambitions with your personal commitments.

You can also expect a full range of benefits, including: 

·       Generous holiday allowance (starting at 25 days a year + Bank Holidays, rising to 30 days pro rata with length of service), plus 1 annual Christmas company day

·       Option to buy and sell up to 5 days annual leave

·       Company funded health Cashplan

·       Enhanced maternity, paternity and shared parental leave

·       Performance-related pay

·       Competitive Pension and Life assurance

·       Access to interest-free loans for cars, bikes, season tickets and driving lessons

·       Employee Assistance program to help you deal with life’s challenges

·       Discounts on a range of new vehicles, holiday rentals, wellbeing and lifestyle and many more
