About Sheldon Phillips

Sheldon Phillips is a specialist recruitment agency operating within the social work sector. We partner with Local Authorities, Independent Fostering Agencies, Charities, and private organisations across the UK, delivering high-quality, compliant professionals into critical services.

Our reputation is built on reliability, compliance, and strong relationships - this role sits right at the heart of that.

The Role

As a Compliance Officer, you will play a central role in managing contractor compliance, supporting consultants, and ensuring smooth onboarding and payroll processes. You’ll be dealing with both systems and people - so attention to detail and strong communication are equally important.

Key Responsibilities

* Managing and processing candidate applications across multiple client portals

* Supporting Recruitment Consultants to ensure a seamless onboarding journey

* Chasing, verifying, and managing contractor timesheets to ensure accurate and timely payment

* Building relationships with contractors through regular check-ins, ensuring satisfaction and retention

* Gathering references and maintaining accurate compliance records

* Preparing and processing documentation in line with framework and audit requirements

* Ensuring all compliance standards and deadlines are consistently met

What We’re Looking For

* Strong organisational skills with high attention to detail

* Confident communicator, both written and verbal

* Proactive mindset with the ability to take ownership of tasks

* Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

* Comfortable working with systems, processes, and deadlines

* Previous recruitment or compliance experience is beneficial, but not essential

What You’ll Get

* Competitive base salary with performance-based incentives

* Clear training and development pathway within recruitment

* A supportive, team-driven environment

* Flexible working options post-probation

* Monthly incentives and team rewards

* Relaxed, positive office culture (including Dress Down Fridays)

If you’re someone who takes pride in getting the detail right, enjoys working with people, and wants to build a career within recruitment - this is a strong opportunity to join a business that’s growing and making a real impact in the social work sector.
