The role
Reporting to the Head of Campus Division Health, Safety & Quality Assurance, the Campus Compliance Assurance Manager will provide independent assurance and oversight of statutory and premises compliance across the University’s physical estate.
This is a key assurance role within Campus Division, focused on checking that compliance systems, evidence, controls and actions are effective, visible and aligned with legal and University requirements. The role will support senior managers by identifying compliance risks, reporting performance, highlighting gaps and helping to drive timely improvement across key compliance areas.
What will you be doing?
You will develop and maintain a structured Compliance Assurance Plan covering statutory and premises compliance across the Campus Division estate. This will include areas such as fire safety, water hygiene, asbestos, electrical safety, gas safety, pressure systems, lifting equipment and other key compliance risks.
You will review, test and verify compliance evidence, inspection records, remedial actions and performance data to confirm that systems and controls are operating effectively. This will include checking that actions are being progressed, evidence is suitable, and risks are escalated where assurance, performance or accountability is not meeting the required standard.
You will produce clear assurance reports, dashboards and updates for the Head of HSQA, senior managers and relevant governance groups. These reports will highlight compliance performance, trends, emerging risks, overdue actions, non-conformances and areas requiring further action.
You will work closely with the Compliance Team, Authorised Persons, Responsible Persons, Health & Safety, Quality, contractors and external specialists to support audit activity, action tracking and continuous improvement.
You will also provide constructive challenge and evidence-based advice where compliance arrangements, performance or accountability need to improve.
This is not a routine compliance delivery role. It is an assurance role, focused on checking, challenging, reporting and helping Campus Division understand where compliance is strong, where improvement is needed, and where senior action is required.
You should apply if
You should apply if you have strong experience in statutory compliance, estates compliance, facilities management, health and safety, or a related assurance role within a complex organisation.
You will need a good working knowledge of UK compliance legislation and standards, including fire safety, water hygiene, asbestos, electrical safety, gas safety, pressure systems and lifting equipment.
You should be confident reviewing compliance evidence, analysing performance data, identifying gaps and producing clear reports that support senior managers to understand risk and take action.
We are looking for someone who can work across different teams and technical areas, challenge constructively, and influence others where compliance arrangements, evidence or performance need to improve.
You do not need to be the technical lead for every compliance area, but you must be able to understand compliance risk, ask the right questions, test the evidence and clearly report what needs to improve.
A relevant qualification in health and safety, compliance, estates, facilities or engineering is required. A NEBOSH Diploma, or equivalent Level 6 qualification in occupational health and safety, is also required. Experience of working in a large estate environment, such as higher education, NHS, public sector or similar, would be an advantage.
