About Haringey

Haringey is a fantastic place to live and work – the world in one borough. A place brimming with creativity, personality, radicalism, and community. It is a place where we stand up for each other. A place that is proudly distinctive. We’ll be celebrating all this and more as the “rebel borough” when we are the 2027 London Borough of Culture.

Our history champions change-makers and everyday rebels; revelling in our differences, battling discrimination, championing equality, and doing things our own way. Haringey’s people are a huge asset, with knowledge, expertise, and passion. Our staff members embody our organisational values: Caring, Creative, Courageous, Collaborative and Community-focused. These values keep us looking forward, ambitious for the future, and continuously striving to do our very best for all of our residents.

About the role

As a Compliance Officer within Haringey Works, you will play a key role in supporting the delivery of Opportunity Haringey by ensuring full compliance across project, financial and administrative processes. You will be responsible for collecting, verifying and evidencing client eligibility, maintaining accurate documentation, and collating key management information to support funding claims. Your work will act as a vital safeguard—ensuring that all activity meets stringent funding, procurement and publicity requirements while helping prevent any risks of ineligible claims or funding clawback.

About the team

You will join the dynamic Haringey Works service within the Placemaking and Housing Directorate, working alongside Employment Advisors, Programme Managers, Engagement Officers and other specialists dedicated to improving employment outcomes for residents. The team operates in a fast‑paced, customer‑focused environment where collaboration, accuracy and proactive problem‑solving underpin everything we do. You’ll also work closely with partners, internal departments and funders, contributing to the smooth delivery of multiple programmes that support residents into employment and skills opportunities.

About you

You’ll bring strong organisational, communication and problem‑solving skills, along with experience working in an administrative or compliance‑focused role. You will have excellent knowledge of Microsoft Office, CRM systems and data management processes, with the ability to work flexibly, prioritise effectively and maintain accuracy under pressure. A keen eye for detail, commitment to confidentiality, and confidence in liaising with colleagues to gather essential evidence are key. If you’re proactive, solution‑focused and passionate about ensuring high‑quality service delivery, we would love to hear from you.
