We are dedicated to being an inclusive employer, offering equitable opportunities for all individuals. Our goal is to build a diverse workforce, and we hope to attract applications from all backgrounds and underrepresented groups.
Job Description
We have an exciting opportunity to join the Regulatory Affairs, Compliance and Enforcement (RACE) team as an Assistant (FCP) Compliance Analyst.
Our team is responsible for ensuring that APHA operates as an effective National Regulator and deals with a wide-ranging portfolio of work covering all aspects of regulation, compliance, and enforcement.
The Assistant Compliance Analyst role will be responsible for providing analytical services which support RACE objectives and priorities by focusing on targeted operational activities based on compliance history and emerging risks or threats.
The position is vital to ensuring that any data relating to non-compliance can be identified, collated and transformed into management information reports, allowing data to be evaluated and inform regulatory activities.
The postholder will be responsible for developing innovative reports using Microsoft Power BI software, identifying trends or patterns within the data and supporting the development of new datasets where gaps in compliance information have been identified. These reports should be underpinned by robust semantic models as a further requirement of the role.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
