About this job
The Parish seeks an experienced Risk and Compliance Manager to strengthen organisation-wide risk management, governance, assurance, work health and safety and safeguarding. Reporting to the General Manager and working closely with the Head of College and Shared Services colleagues, the appointee will support a diverse range of educational, Parish and community activities.
A key priority will be to assess existing arrangements, identify gaps and implement proportionate, practical improvements. The portfolio includes enterprise risk frameworks and registers, policy and regulatory compliance, CompliSpace, audits, incident management, emergency preparedness, business continuity and reporting to senior leaders and the Board.
The successful candidate will bring sound professional judgement, strong technical capability and the confidence to work collaboratively with staff, clergy and volunteers. Experience in education will be valued, although applicants from other regulated sectors are encouraged. An appreciation of, and respect for, the Greek Orthodox ethos and values of the Parish and College is essential; personal adherence to the faith is not required.
