Salary: £33,491 per annum
Hours: 35 hours per week
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 our client as a Corporate Fraud Officer where you’ll play a key role in tackling fraud within the business!

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

Responsibilities

• 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 the organisation.

This is a unique opportunity to help shape the organisation's approach to tackling fraud, but don't just take their word for it – hear from the Hiring Manager Asad Khan, Risk and Assurance Manager – "As an organisation, we have ambitious aims to establish ourselves as the leader in the Midlands on tackling fraud. Supported by myself, you'll 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. This is an organisation that encourages professional growth and development, which means they 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".

Qualifications

The organisation is 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.
