Senior Compliance Lead

4 months ago

Taunton, United Kingdom Somerset Council Full time

**Some key information**
- Permanent position, 37 hours per week.
- Grade 7, salary range £47,536 - £53,339 per annum
- 33 days annual leave
- Hybrid working

**What will I be doing?**
You’ll be overseeing the property safety compliance for over 6000 council owned buildings, varying in size and complexity, and ensuring the safety of our tenants and leaseholders.

(We’re talking fire safety, water safety, asbestos, gas safety, electrical safety, radon, and lifts.)

As our Senior Compliance Lead, you’ll be the person that understands the bigger picture - what needs to be done, how it needs to be done, and who we need to work with to make it happen.

There’s a big leadership and management aspect to this role, and it’s an opportunity for you to come in and establish your own strategies and ways of doing things. You’ll be the expert, and we’ll be relying on you to get everybody on board with what needs to happen - whether it’s our executive leadership or the lead specialists in specific areas.

It’s a role that requires a delicate blend of strategic thinking and empathy - not just for your colleagues, but also for the tenants we’re here to serve.

This is a hybrid role - so a mix of working at home and at our office in Taunton.
**What kind of experience or qualifications do I need?**
Given the nature of this job, it’s essential that you have experience in a similar role, working in the social housing sector.

That means you understand this sector and the skills needed to do this job successfully - so we won’t waste your time rattling off a long list of requirements.

(You’ll already know, for example, that you need to be a good people leader, an expert on property safety compliance and the kind of person who makes sure projects get completed on time and to the right specifications.)

If you’d like some more information, you can find a link to the full job description at the bottom of this advert on our careers site.
**What's in it for me?**
We are proud to offer an environment that is supportive and rewarding, working as part of a team who are passionate about the work they do to improve the lives of people in Somerset.

We offer great training and development opportunities, with supportive management. As well as this, we have some fantastic employee benefits available:

- We promote a healthy work-life balance and offer flexible working arrangements wherever possible, including working from home.
- Generous annual leave allowance, with the opportunity to purchase additional leave
- Staff discounts in gyms.
- Employee Assistance for the times you may need some support and a variety of employee wellbeing services.
- Auto enrolment onto our generous Pension Scheme and optional pension enhancement through our Additional Voluntary Contribution scheme.
- A Flexible Benefits Scheme via salary sacrifice to obtain a cycle for work and health screenings.
- My Staff Shop offering discounts in shops, online shopping, restaurants, cinema tickets, insurance benefits and more...

**Anything else I should know?**

**A bit more about Somerset Council**
We’re proud to be here for the people of Somerset. And that means everyone in Somerset. An important part of this is ensuring that we are as diverse and inclusive as the people and communities we serve.

**DBS information**
Basic level DBS clearance is required for this role.
