We have an exciting opportunity to join our team as a Compliance Lead.
The SEQF Compliance Lead plays a vital role in upholding the standards of the Supported Employment Quality Framework (SEQF), a national quality benchmark for supported employment services across the UK. The SEQF is designed to ensure that individuals with disabilities and/or neurodivergence receive high-quality, person-centred support to access and sustain meaningful employment.

Our ideal candidate will have a strong understanding of the SEQF framework. Have experience of working in a contract compliance background within an operational environment conducting contract compliance reviews and writing risk-based reports.
All new colleagues will be offered to enrol on a Level 2 Employment Apprenticeship and have the prospect to move into other apprenticeship levels.
We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace and strongly encourage applications from underrepresented groups.
