Job description

Do you know safer recruitment inside out? Would you like to make a difference? Are you available for the next six months?

If so, this could be a fascinating six-month project.

Please note that whilst this role is mostly remote, the successful candidate will need to travel to sites across the south of England and make occasional visits to Head Office in London, so please only apply if you are located in the South of England.

Our client is a respected group of specialist independent schools with a strong commitment to supporting young people with diverse learning needs. They are seeking an experienced Compliance Project Manager to lead a key programme of work focused on strengthening safer recruitment and compliance practices across their schools.

This is more than an audit role.

You will review existing Single Central Records and compliance processes, identify areas for improvement, evaluate system options, build a business case for change, oversee implementation and equip school teams with the knowledge and confidence to maintain best practice moving forward.

Duties will include:

• Auditing Single Central Records across a portfolio of schools
• Identifying compliance risks, trends and opportunities for improvement
• Reviewing current systems and processes
• Leading the selection of a consistent SCR platform
• Developing implementation plans and supporting roll‑out
• Delivering training and guidance to school administration and people teams
• Supporting compliance across safer recruitment, statutory checks, right to work requirements and safeguarding obligations

What we’re looking for:

• Single Central Records (SCRs)
• Keeping Children Safe in Education (KCSIE)
• Safer recruitment and pre-employment checks
• Right to work compliance
• Project delivery and change management

The successful candidate will be comfortable engaging with stakeholders across multiple sites, balancing detail with pragmatism, and translating complex compliance requirements into clear, actionable guidance.

Experience within education would be highly advantageous, particularly within independent schools, multi-academy trusts or organisations operating across multiple locations.
