Overview
Location: UK-wide client work | Hybrid with travel
RKMS Group is a family-run consultancy and training business with over 30 years’ experience supporting organisations to implement, maintain and improve management systems. We have supported more than 4,000 clients across the UK and overseas, working across a wide range of industries and regulatory environments. This role is focused specifically on our core ISO standards: ISO 27001 (Information Security – desirable, not essential).
We are known for being practical, approachable and value-driven - helping clients build systems that genuinely work for their business, not just for audit.
The Role
We are looking for an ISO Management Systems Consultant with existing, practical experience of working with ISO standards to join our team. This is not a trainee role, and applicants must already be confident with the core principles and requirements of the standards listed. The role is client-facing and involves a blend of on-site and remote working, depending on project requirements. Typically, this will involve approximately 40% travel to client sites and 60% remote working, averaged across projects. Travel is primarily UK-based and planned in advance wherever possible.
You will receive full training in RKMS systems, tools and ways of working. This role suits someone who is technically competent, organised, and comfortable managing their time between client visits and remote delivery, with the support of an experienced consultancy team.
Key Responsibilities
- Supporting clients to implement, maintain and improve ISO management systems
- Leading and supporting internal audits across ISO 9001, 14001 and 45001 (27001 where applicable)
- Preparing clients for UKAS-accredited external certification and surveillance audits
- Developing and refining management system documentation and processes
- Providing practical compliance guidance while identifying realistic improvement opportunities
- Working collaboratively with the RKMS consultancy and office teams
Essential Experience & Skills
- Applicants must have prior, hands-on experience with ISO management systems. This may have been gained within an internal compliance role or consultancy environment.
- Practical experience working with ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and/or ISO 45001
- Confidence interpreting standard requirements and applying them in real business settings
- Experience supporting audits (internal and/or external)
- Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
- Competent IT skills, including use of cloud-based systems
- Willingness to travel to client sites across the UK
- Exposure to ISO 27001 or information security management systems
- Experience across multiple sectors or regulated environments
- Internal Auditor or Lead Auditor training (or equivalent practical experience)
- Formal qualifications are welcome, but experience and capability are more important
What This Role Is - and Isn’t
- A hands-on consultancy role for someone already familiar with ISO standards
- A development opportunity within a supportive, experienced team
- Not a trainee or entry-level position
- Not a senior, lead or strategic consultancy role
Salary & Benefits
- £30,000 – £38,500 per annum, dependent on experience
- Private healthcare / Employee Assistance Programme
- Access to employee benefits / discounts
- Company bonus / profit share scheme
- Funded professional development (e.g. IRCA courses where appropriate)
- Long-service holiday incentives
- Team days out and a genuine family-business culture
