Ready to lead and shape a future-focused compliance framework that elevates how we manage compliance risks across the entire Group. This is a newly created role because we're ready to create a consistent way of working and build a clearer, more coordinated approach to compliance. You'll help us get ahead of emerging regulations and create a framework that supports every part of the Group with confidence and consistency As a Group Compliance Officer, you'll bring clarity, structure and confidence to a compliance landscape that's evolving at pace. You'll lead the design and implementation of a Group-wide Compliance Framework, enabling the business to identify, assess and manage compliance risks, across every region and function. That includes establishing horizon-scanning governance, defining responsibilities and creating a standardised process for recording, triaging and continuous review of compliance risks. You'll oversee Group-wide compliance registers, MI and reporting, support SMEs in maintaining them and track progress, providing the business with independent assurance. Creating clear, insightful reporting for the Executive, Board and relevant Committees will be a core part of your work, along with ensuring consistent training, communication and policy alignment. When significant legislative changes arise impacting multiple functions and territories, you'll coordinate cross-functional and cross-territory responses. You'll play a key role in shaping how we meet our obligations under the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) across all Specsavers operations. You'll design, implement and maintain a dedicated EUDR framework that not only aligns with EU requirements but fits seamlessly into our wider compliance, risk, ESG and supply-chain governance structures. A big part of your impact will come from creating clarity, defining roles, responsibilities and accountabilities so everyone understands their part in delivering compliant outcomes. You'll bring a strong understanding of global regulatory and compliance environments, along with experience in compliance, risk management, legal or regulatory roles. Your organisational, analytical and project-management abilities will help you navigate complexity with confidence, especially when coordinating multi-functional, multi-regional initiatives. You'll be a highly effective communicator who can influence senior stakeholders and build trusted relationships across the business. Experience working with SMEs, legal teams and cross-functional governance groups will be essential, as you'll be collaborating widely to embed consistent, high-quality compliance practices across the Group. This role closes on 16th March 2026: however, we may close the advert sooner if we get inundated with high-quality applications. If you're ready to make a global impact and help shape the future of compliance at Specsavers, we'd love to hear from you

Role Purpose: To be part of a team that provides quality customer information on all our highway works and seeks to continually improve how this is delivered. Being part of a small team responsible for ensuring high quality information is communicated to all our customers both in advance of works, during and after using the most appropriate mediums. There will be the need to work closely with a range of service providers and stakeholders which will involve considerable coordination. The works programmes are very extensive (running to several hundred schemes / functions per Annum) and often change at short notice, directly impacting on our customers. The role plays an important role in ensuring that highway works are effectively communicated to all stakeholders in a timely and professional manner across a range of mediums. The post holder will assist with work in a customer focused technical area in order that statutory and policy compliance is maintained. Work Context: The Highways and Transport Service is responsible for ensuring the effective management, maintenance and improvement of all highway and transport assets, including flood risk management. The service manages significant financial, health and safety, and reputations risks and undertakes three significant statutory duties - Highway Authority, Transport Authority and Lead Local Flood Authority. The service operates in an environment with significant political engagement, has daily contact with MPs, Cabinet members and backbench members and works very closely with Local Committees and with Select Committees. There is also high level engagement with Government Departments. Lack of or insufficient communication is consistently one of the biggest concerns from both Members and residents and the impact can be considerable on the reputation of the Service. The complexities of our own works programmes and those of other stakeholders (utility companies, developers etc) mean that managing and communicating the information in a quality format can be very challenging. This requires post-holders to liaise, work collaboratively and maintain effective relationships with colleagues, members, customers, partner organisations, agencies and/or contractors. The post is based in Merrow. Representative Accountabilities: Analysis, Reporting & Documentation Prepare reports/statistics/briefings to meet statutory/management information requirements. Recommend improvements and support implementation to systems, processes and procedures, ensuring best practice is shared across the team. Customer Service & Support Deliver a range of administrative and/or customer/consultancy services in support of existing systems or processes to agreed standards, to maximise service quality and continuity. May authorise transactions where appropriate. Respond to and resolve enquiries and problems, judging when to pass on complex queries or involve others, to provide an effective service and clear advice to colleagues and customers. Planning & Organising Provide comprehensive support to a group of senior staff, ensuring confidentiality, effectively organising internal and external activities/events to support the delivery of efficient services. Plan and prioritise own work activities for the weeks ahead, to ensure operational efficiency. Respond effectively to changing demands, adjusting priorities as needed. Finance/Resource Management Maintain financial, and/or stock records, and review data to contribute to resource planning. Work with others Maintain a network of contacts, drawing on support and advice from others to resolve problems. Communicate and liaise with service users and/or external contacts, representing the team/service as required. Support, coordinate and undertake research into a variety of projects in the defined area of activity to support achievement of team's objectives. People Management May guide and/or supervise junior staff in their duties to facilitate their development and ensure service quality standards are maintained. Duties for all Values: To uphold the values and behaviours of the organisation. Equality & Diversity: To work inclusively, with a diverse range of stakeholders and promote equality of opportunity. Health, Safety & Welfare: To maintain high standards of Health, Safety and Welfare at work and take reasonable care for the health and safety of themselves and others. Role Summary: Roles at this level provide a comprehensive business support service in a defined service or functional area, or provide specialist support services. Many will possess technical rather than professional expertise in the main disciplines, or have substantial experience of administrative procedures to enable them to guide and advise others. There will be minimal day-to-day supervision, but clear guidance is available. The roles will plan for the weeks ahead and prioritise to accommodate non standard work. They often require understanding of complex procedures and support systems, and the ability to allocate workload and react to changing priorities. Although most work will follow established patterns, initiative is needed to handle processes and resolve problems and queries based on experience and judgement, mainly without reference to others. These roles may work alone instead of as part of a team, or the system or process used may require specialist knowledge or experience. Some roles involve supervision of staff, others involve undertaking specialist functions or the provision of a broad comprehensive business admin services Connect2Surrey is a trading style of Surrey & Kent Commercial Services LLP - A joint venture between Surrey County Council & Commercial Services Kent Ltd.
