Adecco is proud to be working in partnership with Swindon Borough Council to recruit a range of roles across Housing and Corporate Repairs, including:

Service Manager - Compliance

Salary: £64,614 | Level: CFL12

Join Swindon Borough Council at a pivotal moment in our transformation journey. Backed by major investment and strengthened governance, this senior role offers the opportunity to lead critical compliance services with real impact on resident safety.

Background

Following a C3 regulatory judgement, Swindon Borough Council is investing £250 million over the next five years to strengthen safety, compliance, asset condition and tenant confidence across both housing and corporate property portfolios.

Compliance is a central pillar of this improvement programme, requiring strong leadership, clear assurance and consistent delivery.

Your New Role

As Service Manager - Compliance, you will lead the delivery of a high-quality compliance service across the Council's housing and corporate property portfolio. You will have overall responsibility for statutory compliance across the six core safety areas: gas, electrical, fire, asbestos, water hygiene and lifts.

Working closely with colleagues, contractors and partners, you will provide clear leadership, assurance and direction, ensuring statutory safety checks and remedial works are well planned, effectively delivered and fully compliant. With most compliance activity delivered through external contractors, you will lead commissioning, performance oversight and inspection readiness, ensuring services deliver value for money and withstand regulatory scrutiny.

You will also play a key role in shaping future compliance programmes, strengthening governance, data quality and assurance processes, and embedding a culture of accountability, collaboration and continuous improvement.

What You'll Need to Succeed

You will bring experience managing property compliance or building safety services, ideally within a local authority or social housing environment. A strong understanding of statutory compliance obligations and experience working with contractors are essential.

A relevant degree or equivalent professional qualification, alongside a recognised health and safety qualification, is desirable. You'll be a confident, supportive leader with sound judgement and the ability to work collaboratively across complex services.

What You'll Get in Return

We offer:

Competitive local government salary and benefits
Access to the Local Government Pension Scheme
Senior leadership development opportunities
A role with genuine responsibility for resident safety and service improvement
