Recruitment Compliance Administrator

About the Client

Our client is a leading UK-based education recruitment agency that specialises in placing teachers, school leaders, graduates, teaching assistants, and support staff into schools across London and surrounding regions. Established in 2020, the business has built a strong reputation within the education sector through its consultative approach, exceptional candidate experience, and commitment to delivering high-quality recruitment solutions to schools and educational institutions. As the business continues to grow, maintaining rigorous compliance standards remains a key part of its success. The team is now looking to strengthen its compliance function with an experienced Recruitment Compliance Administrator who can ensure candidate files meet all regulatory and safeguarding requirements before placement.

• Ensure all candidate documentation is complete, accurate, and compliant.
• Conduct compliance checks and verify supporting documentation.

• Follow established compliance procedures and regulatory guidelines.
• Liaise with candidates to obtain outstanding documentation where required.
• Work closely with recruiters and management to ensure candidates are fully compliant before placement.
• Monitor and maintain compliance deadlines and renewal requirements.
• Support audits and compliance reporting activities as needed.

What Success Looks Like

• Documentation and onboarding processes are completed within required timeframes.
• Recruiters can confidently place candidates knowing all compliance requirements have been met.
