Bath, United Kingdom Curo Full time

**What you'll be doing**

You will be leading on influencing positive changes at Curo by ensuring the quality and integrity of our operations and the delivery of our Strategic Plan. Working closely with the Executive Team, you will undertake risk-based monitoring activity across the Curo group and drive a culture of continuous improvement.

It will be a fast-paced environment, with lots of deadlines, but you’ll work as part of the wider Governance, Assurance and Insight Directorate, where we all pitch in and help each other out as we need to.

Whilst our preference is full time working, we are happy to discuss alternatives.

**More about you**

We are looking for someone who can help colleagues to understand the benefits of robust risk management and assurance, so you’ll need to be friendly and approachable, with a ‘can do’ attitude. You’ll be able to horizon-scan and provide intelligence over emerging policy and risks facing Curo.

You’ll have great attention to detail, but know how to focus on what really matters. You’ll be an excellent communicator so that you can build positive relationships across Curo. Ideally, you’ll have a qualification in risk management.

You’ll be enthused by Curo’s mission ‘Homes for Good’ and really believe in what we do. At the same time you will demonstrate resilience and the desire to work in an interesting environment where no day is ever the same

**When and where you'll be doing it**

You’ll be primarily based at The Maltings, but we happy to talk about flexible working. The most important thing is that your work gets done, you are available to support colleagues with their concerns and queries, and you’re able to build good relationships with key colleagues.

**What you’ll get in return**

We think you’ll have a job that makes you feel good about what you’re doing and help us to make a difference to our customers’ lives every day.

So in return for all your hard work, not only do you get a great salary but we also offer:

- 26 days annual leave (plus public holidays) rising to 29 days after 3 years service
- An additional day’s leave on your birthday
- Contributory (Salary Sacrifice) Pension Scheme matched by CURO up to 10%
- Annual ‘Homes for Good’ Reward.
- Life Assurance Policy (up to 6x your annual salary)
- Flexible Benefits including the ability to buy up to 5 days additional annual leave, gym membership, Health Cash Plan, Computer Scheme, Green Cars, Cycle to Work
- ‘Perks at Work’ - access to 1000’s of discounts online and in-store.
- Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) - providing friendly impartial advice on financial, health, work or mental wellbeing.
- Free Parking at many of our Offices.

Curo is an organisation with social purpose at its heart. We provide affordable homes that help people find security and stability and a positive future. We’re one of the largest housing associations in the South West and an expanding house builder, using our profits to create more affordable housing in our communities.

Our values are at the core of how we work. We care about our colleagues and their wellbeing and recognise their sense of pride in the work they do to support our customers.

We’re proud to say that since 2016 we have been ranked by Best Companies as being in the UK's top 75 Large Companies to work for. We're also listed in the top 10 best housing associations to work for in the country, and among the top 25 best companies to work for in the South West
