We are looking for an experienced Risk and Assurance Manager to join our expanding Legal and Governance function. This is a key role supporting the development of a strong, integrated approach to risk management, compliance, quality and assurance across the organisation.

Working closely with the Head of Legal and Governance, you will help shape how the organisation manages risk, ensures compliance, and maintains high-quality governance standards. You’ll work with senior leaders across Finance, HR, Operations and our Managing Directors, giving this role real influence and visibility.

About the Role

As Risk and Assurance Manager, you will:

*

Lead the development and delivery of the organisation’s Risk Management and Assurance Framework.

*

Maintain and report on the corporate risk register, providing high-quality analysis for Executives and the Board.

*

Play a key role in shaping the organisation’s risk appetite, maturing our risk reporting framework, and delivering high-quality reports to Executives and the Board.

*

Support the organisation’s assurance framework, including internal audit activity and compliance monitoring.

*

Own and manage the organisation’s Fraud Action Plan and Fraud Risk Register.

*

Coordinate risk reviews, support risk owners and encourage strong risk culture across all divisions.

*

Produce clear, insightful risk and assurance reporting for senior decision-makers.

*

Support quality and compliance processes, including accreditation against relevant BSI/ISO standards.

*

Support business continuity planning and wider governance improvements.

This role is central to strengthening organisational resilience and ensuring that risks are well understood, managed and communicated.

About You

We are looking for someone with:

*

Experience in risk management, audit, assurance or compliance, ideally in a corporate or regulated environment.

*

Strong analytical skills and experience managing risk registers or assurance frameworks.

*

Confidence in working with senior stakeholders and presenting clear, evidence-based recommendations.

*

Excellent organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.

*

Strong written and verbal communication, with the ability to translate complex information into clear, practical insights.

*

Experience with tools such as Excel, SharePoint, PowerBI, Word and PowerPoint.

Experience with ISO/BSI standards, quality management or assurance mapping is desirable but not essential.

Why Join Us?

*

A role with genuine organisational impact and senior-level visibility.

*

Opportunities to shape risk, assurance and governance frameworks across a growing organisation.

*

Supportive leadership, hybrid working and a collaborative working culture.

*

A chance to support services that make a positive difference to communities across Cornwall.
