Remote Recruitment is hiring a Compliance Administrator for a UK-based employer, fully remote from South Africa.

Role overview

Youll keep a UK business audit-ready — maintaining policy documentation, tracking training and certifications, and making sure evidence is filed before anyone asks for it.

Compliance work is invisible until an auditor asks a question. You will make sure the answer is already filed, dated and easy to find.

You will work UK business hours from home, as part of a South African team placed directly with established UK employers.

• Maintain policy, procedure and compliance documentation
• Track staff training, certifications and renewal dates
• Prepare evidence packs and support internal and external audits
• Log incidents, complaints and corrective actions
• Monitor completion of compliance tasks and chase outstanding items
• Produce compliance status reports for management

What youll need

• Experience in compliance, quality or governance administration
• Strong document control and version management habits
• Confident tracking deadlines across many owners
• Clear written English for policy and audit documentation
• Discretion when handling sensitive material

Nice to have

• Exposure to ISO standards or a regulated UK sector
• Experience with a compliance or GRC platform
• Understanding of GDPR or data protection record-keeping

Whats on offer

• 100% remote, working from anywhere in South Africa
• UK business hours, 09:00–17:00 UK time (11:00–19:00 SAST)
• Direct exposure to an established UK business
• Long-term, stable placement with room to grow

Remote Recruitment places South African professionals with UK businesses for long-term, fully remote roles.
