Contract: Permanent

Do you have hands-on experience of fraud investigations and fraud prevention measures? Keen to apply your knowledge and progress your career within a leading Housing organisation? If yes, look no further - join us as a Corporate Fraud Officer where you'll play a key role in tackling fraud within the business!

This is a role within our Governance and Assurance team which aids our investigatory capabilities across the organisation, as well as maintaining strong relationships with local authorities and other Housing Associations. The housing sector in which we operate is complex, fast-paced and continually evolving, which makes this role equally varied and interesting!

As The Fraud Officer You'll Be Responsible For:

• Leading, coordinating and resolving corporate fraud investigations, providing outcomes and making appropriate recommendations to the business.
• Developing and implementing practices and procedures for dealing with corporate fraud.
• Developing and delivering fraud prevention strategies.
• Establishing and maintaining networks with local authorities and other Housing Associations to share best practice.
• Championing and promoting fraud awareness across Midland Heart.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape our approach to tackling fraud, and you will gain exposure across all business areas and functions, working closely with Heads of Service as well as establishing relationships with external stakeholders, combining efforts to tackle fraud.

We are an organisation that encourages professional growth and development, which means we will support you to grow by providing a range of development opportunities that support you to achieve a recognised professional qualification, should you want to pursue one.

Our ideal candidate:

• We're seeking a self-motivated and credible professional with the following skills and experience:
• Experience of undertaking thorough fraud investigations; experience within the Housing sector is preferred, but not essential.
• Experience of producing robust investigation, outcomes and recommendation reports.
• Experience of presenting complex information to a variety of audiences, with the ability to influence and persuade.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with experience of building relationships with internal and external stakeholders/agencies to deliver successful outcomes.

As a Smart Working organisation, you can expect a balance of working from the office (Birmingham, Bath Row) and from home typically, a minimum of 3 days per week working from the office is expected but this may vary dependent on business needs.

We welcome people from every walk of life, at every stage of their career. We expect a lot from our people but in return you can be assured of a great place to work, where you will be well rewarded and where great people are able to succeed. We are proud to say we have recently been named in the Sunday Times Best Places to Work list, within the Big Organisations category (The Times).
