About Camden

Camden is changing on the inside to make life better for everyone. Our residents and communities are at the heart of everything we do. We’re home to the most important conversations happening today and we’re making radical social change a reality, so that nobody gets left behind.  Here’s where you can help decide a better future for us all.

How You’ll Be Involved 

The Awaab’s Compliance & Operations Manager will lead the operational coordination, compliance oversight and assurance arrangements for Camden’s response to hazards that fall within the scope of Awaab’s Law. The role will sit within Awaab’s Compliance and will ensure that cases are monitored from referral and triage through investigation, make-safe activity, remedial works, resident communication and closure, with clear evidence that statutory and internal timescales have been met.

The postholder will provide a clear link between operational delivery teams and the Awaab’s Compliance function, ensuring that risks are identified early, escalations are managed effectively, and senior managers have reliable information on performance, compliance, resident risk, KPI trends and service pressures. The role will support a delivery model that may change over time and must be able to work across internal teams, TMOs, contractors and partner services to secure timely action and provide independent oversight of compliance.

This post is exempt from the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act and will require a Basic DBS. 

All About You

You are an experienced and confident leader with a passion for delivering safe, compliant and resident-focused services. You have a strong track record of managing teams, driving performance and creating a culture where colleagues feel supported, empowered and accountable for delivering excellent outcomes.

You will be skilled at providing strategic direction while maintaining oversight of day-to-day operations, ensuring that compliance activities are effective, well-governed and focused on protecting residents. Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment, you can prioritise competing demands, use performance data to identify risks and opportunities, and make informed decisions when dealing with complex or sensitive issues.

We are looking for someone who can build strong relationships across teams and with key stakeholders, communicate clearly and confidently, and support others to develop through coaching, mentoring and constructive feedback. You will be committed to high standards of customer care, continuous improvement and evidence-based decision making, with the ability to provide assurance that services are meeting their statutory and organisational responsibilities.

Most importantly, you will share our commitment to resident safety and wellbeing, leading by example to foster an inclusive, supportive and high-performing culture that delivers positive outcomes for Camden residents.
