About us
The Compliance Company is the parent company behind two specialist compliance businesses. The Compliance Company is a group of property risk management and safety companies. The Supported Housing Compliance Company works with care providers, housing providers and registered social landlords, covering fire risk assessments, legionella risk assessments, asbestos surveys and the ongoing compliance that occupied supported housing properties need. Both businesses are based in Manchester and are growing quickly, with an active acquisition strategy alongside organic growth.
The role
Our Founder & CEO is young, hands on and fast moving, running two businesses alongside a property development portfolio. This role exists to give him back time by taking full ownership of the admin, planning and coordination that currently pulls him away from growing the business. It blends personal support with light touch business administration, and the right person will move comfortably between the two without needing everything handed to them on a plate.

- Acting as a first point of contact for callers and visitors, filtering requests appropriately
Personal planning and life admin
- Managing personal insurances, renewals and related admin
- Handling errands, bookings and appointments

What we're looking for
- Proven experience as a PA, EA or similar support role, ideally supporting a founder, director or senior leader
- Comfortable working across personal and business admin without needing a rigid line drawn between the two

- Able to commute to Manchester for the in office day
