What does the role involve?

As a desk-based Compliance Caseworker within Campaigns and Projects (C&P), you will be at the forefront of delivering a high volume of compliance cases. These will relate to a variety of targeted compliance projects.

Over time, you’ll develop and build on your skills and knowledge across a wide range of taxes and risks, whilst being supported by helpful colleagues who are experts in compliance casework.

You’ll be dealing with non-compliance through customer interaction using letters, email, webchat and phone calls. Tasks include challenging customers in telephone interviews, identifying compliance risks and performing any intervention activity required.
