You will lead key compliance activities including legislative change review, incident management, privacy support, and the oversight of disclosure frameworks such as conflicts of interest and gifts and benefits.

The role also contributes to monitoring control effectiveness, supporting training and capability uplift, and delivering high-quality insights and reporting to senior governance forums. Collaborating closely with clinical and corporate teams, you will help ensure alignment across governance frameworks and drive a proactive, organisation-wide approach to risk and compliance that enhances outcomes for patients and clients.
