• Help clients achieve SSIP accreditation, ensuring their safety systems meet the highest standards.
• Stay ahead of regulatory changes, translating complex rules into clear, actionable guidance that makes a real difference.
• No cold calling or chasing leads—our strong reputation and collaborative approach mean we work closely with legal, employment, and HR teams, and demand for our services remains high.
• You’ll be out and about—typically three days a week onsite with clients, and two days working from home or our offices, embracing a dynamic, people-focused role.
