About Affinity Trust

Affinity Trust is a national charity supporting people with learning disabilities, autistic people and people with other support needs to live the lives they choose.

The opportunity

We’re looking for a detail-focused Compliance Officer to join our People Operations team at Affinity Trust for a fixed-term project.

You’ll review employment records for around 2,300 colleagues, checking information and documents for regulatory audit readiness. You’ll also help improve how we store, manage, extract and report on important people data.

What you will be doing:

• Review colleague records, checking key employment terms are accurate, consistent and complete across all systems.
• Compare documents with People system data, including our HRIS, iTrent and our rostering system, SONA.
• Use reporting tools, including Business Objects, to support analysis, reporting and progress tracking.
• Identify gaps, duplicates, outdated templates and data discrepancies.
• Help identify risks linked to audit readiness, data quality and regulatory expectations.
• Maintain a clear audit tracker showing progress, gaps, risks, actions and completion dates.
• Recommend and support the implementation of improvements to how employment records are organised, managed and retrieved, including future controls, checklists and ways of working.

This could suit you if:

• You understand the purpose of employment documents and can recognise what to check when reviewing contracts, offer letters and changes to terms.
• You enjoy working carefully and accurately with detailed information.
• You can communicate clearly with colleagues across different teams.
• You understand the importance of confidentiality and handling personal information responsibly.
• You have experience in data management, record keeping, HR compliance or similar compliance checking.
• You are well organised and able to manage large volumes of information.
• You have strong Excel skills and are confident using Microsoft Office 365.
• You can analyse information, notice patterns and summarise key findings.
• You bring a practical, solution-focused and inclusive approach.
• You are confident using HR information systems or similar business systems.
• Experience using iTrent would be useful but is not essential.
  

• Stream - access part of your pay as you earn it, plus coaching, vouchers, discounts, cashback and more.
• Blue Light Card - we’ll reimburse your membership, giving you access to discounts in shops and restaurants.
• Simply Health - a fully funded health cash plan, including 24-hour GP access and money back on prescriptions, dental treatment and opticians.
• Pension and Life Assurance - enrolment into our Scottish Widows pension scheme and Life Assurance scheme.
• Enhanced DBS - we’ll arrange and pay for this on your behalf.
  

You’ll join a supportive team where your ideas, initiative and attention to detail will be valued.

Our commitment to inclusion

We’re committed to equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion, and welcome applications from people of all backgrounds, experiences and working patterns.

If you’re excited by the role but don’t meet every desirable requirement, we’d still love to hear from you.
