About the role

Remote Recruitment is hiring a Compliance Administrator for a UK-based employer, fully remote from South Africa.
Role overview
You'll 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.

Strong document control and version management habits

Confident tracking deadlines across many owners

Exposure to ISO standards or a regulated UK sector

Experience with a compliance or GRC platform

Understanding of GDPR or data protection record-keeping

What's 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
