Compliance Administrator job summary

An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Compliance Administrator to join the ACET Central Team, supporting the Trust at a pivotal time in its continued development and growth.

The Compliance Administrator provides high-quality administrative and organisational support to the Director of Governance, Risk & Compliance and works closely with colleagues across the wider Trust. This is a varied and rewarding role that plays a crucial part in ensuring ACET meets its statutory, regulatory and internal compliance obligations.

As a key appointment within the Central Team, the post holder will help coordinate compliance activities, maintain accurate records and systems, and support effective governance processes. You will contribute to the smooth operation of audits, policies, risk management and reporting, helping to ensure that compliance is embedded across all areas of the Trust.

We are looking for a highly organised, detail-oriented individual with excellent administrative skills and the ability to manage competing priorities. You will be confident working with sensitive information, able to communicate effectively with a range of stakeholders, and committed to maintaining high standards of professionalism and confidentiality.

This role offers an excellent opportunity for someone looking to develop or build on a career in governance, risk and compliance within a supportive and values-driven organisation. In return, ACET offers a collaborative working environment, opportunities for professional development, and the chance to make a meaningful contribution to the success and integrity of the Trust.

If you are motivated, proactive and keen to play a key role in strengthening compliance across a growing organisation, we would welcome your application.

*The role is based at ACET House but may involve working at other academies/locations within the trust.

Safeguarding

ACET is committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people and expects all staff and volunteers to share this commitment.

All applicants should read our safeguarding Policy and Safer Recruitment Policy, which are available on the ‘policy’ section of our academy websites.

It is an offence to seek employment in regulated activity if you are barred from working with children. This post will involve regular contact with children, and therefore is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974. Applicants are therefore not entitled to withhold information about convictions, cautions or bind-over orders which for any other purposes are “spent” under the provisions of the Act. Any information that is “protected” under the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order 1975 will not appear on a DBS certificate and does not need to be declared. Guidance on this can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/new-guidance-on-the-rehabilitation-of-offenders-act-1974

Successful candidates will be subject to a DBS check at the appropriate level. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to complete a self-declaration related to their criminal record or any information that would make them unsuitable to work with children. Additional checks in relation to the Childcare Disqualification Regulations will be undertaken for successful candidates to junior academies. If you have lived or worked outside of the UK, additional information may be required from you to satisfy safer recruitment checks.

Equality

ACET is committed to ensuring equality of opportunity throughout the recruitment process. We welcome and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, and your application will be assessed purely on your ability to do the job.

We undertake to make any ‘reasonable adjustments’ to a job or workplace to counteract any disadvantages a disabled person may face. Where required, we will make reasonable adjustments to the selection process for an applicant with a disability.

Further information about the job

The candidate will be required to undergo a full enhanced DBS check and must be eligible to work in the UK.

Visas cannot be sponsored.
