Job description

Job Title: Compliance Administrator
Salary: £25,500 per annum
Contract: Permanent, Full Time
Weekly Contractual Hours: 40 (Monday to Friday – 8 AM to 5 PM)
Location: Essex County Council, County Hall, Market Road, Chelmsford, Essex, England, CM1 1QH

Working for Mitie, in partnership on the Essex County Council contract, we’re looking for someone organised, proactive, and ready to grow into a compliance-focused role. This position is ideal for candidates with existing admin experience, but we’re equally happy to consider entry‑level applicants who are keen to learn.

What you’ll be doing

You will support the compliance team by ensuring all processes run smoothly and meet required standards. In this role, you will coordinate planned maintenance tasks with subcontractors, review and process worksheets for accuracy and completion, and check and log Risk Assessments and Method Statements. You will also be responsible for updating compliance trackers and internal systems, monitoring deadlines to make sure statutory and contractual requirements are met, and providing general administrative support to the wider team. Additionally, you will handle incoming calls through the telephony system, respond to e‑mail enquiries, and use Excel and other data tools to manage records and produce basic reports. Strong organisational skills are essential, as you will also plan and book contractors for scheduled work to ensure everything runs efficiently.

What we’re looking for

We are looking for someone who brings a fresh perspective and can identify gaps or suggest improvements. The ideal candidate will be keen, reliable, and eager to learn the compliance aspects of the role, while being comfortable handling a range of administrative duties such as emails, phone calls, and data entry. Confidence in using Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, is important. While previous admin experience is preferred, we are fully open to entry‑level applicants, as full on‑site training will be provided.

What we offer

We offer comprehensive on‑the‑job training and ongoing support, along with a friendly team environment based at County Hall. This role provides the opportunity to build strong compliance and facilities‑management experience, with access to a range of development opportunities. These include relevant training courses such as IOSH, as well as other government‑funded programmes for those who wish to further develop their compliance knowledge.

If you’re looking for a stable, hands‑on admin role with plenty of room to grow, we’d love to hear from you.
