At Southwark Council, we believe our greatest strength to be our people. Driven by values that promote openness, honesty, and accountability, we’re committed to ensuring our staff, residents, and communities are enabled to reach their full potential.
As a Compliance Adviser in our newly established Resourcing service, you’ll play a key role in delivering a seamless onboarding experience for hiring managers and candidates. Integral to the team’s success, you’ll be responsible for conducting pre-employment checks (Right to Work, DBS, References, etc.), issuing contracts, and ensuring timely communications of candidate’s onboarding status.
However, this role is more than just employment checks; it’s about creating a best-in-class Resourcing function, achieved by developing our technology systems, ensuring clearly defined recruitment processes, and committing to continuously improving our methods and practices.
Driving positive change, you’ll have the opportunity to play a key role in reshaping policies, refining procedures, and contributing to our overarching mission of becoming an ever-more inclusive and anti-racist council.

At Southwark we are committed to making our borough just and fair and are taking positive action to tackle inequalities. Our residents and communities are our greatest asset and the passion we have for Southwark is shared by millions of Londoners who enjoy our outstanding cultural offer, use our hospitals and attend our universities. Our refreshed borough plan and focus on Southwark Stands Together, (which is our work with Southwark’s communities and the council’s staff to tackle racism, injustice and inequality) underpins all that we do.
About You:
To be successful, you’ll have a background in HR, Organisational Development, or a similar field. Having gained exposure of various recruitment/ resourcing processes, you’ll have a good understanding of the pre-employment/ onboarding journey and what it involves.
You’ll also be able to evidence the ability to work under pressure whilst ensuring accuracy and efficiency, delivering a exceptional service in a high-volume environment.
By harnessing our individual and collective contributions, we have the power to create a better future for Southwark. Use your power to help us build a next generation workforce and a next generation council. Join us.
