About Camden
At London Borough of Camden, we’re building somewhere everyone can thrive. We want Camden to be a place where everyone has the opportunity to succeed and where our communities feel proud of the spaces they live, work and visit.
About the role
As a Compliance and Reporting Officer, you will provide critical support to Council services around purchasing and receipting processes, resolving complex queries across financial systems and producing reports. Working closely with the Compliance and Reporting Manager, you will prepare statutory reports and analyse performance data to identify trends, suggest service improvements, and utilise benchmarking data from other authorities to improve delivery. You'll play a key supporting role in transactional financial year-end processes and proactively advise management of any significant failures in control procedures. This role requires you to take responsibility for remedial actions when standard policies are disputed, making it a challenging but deeply rewarding opportunity to directly influence organizational efficiency and safeguard resources.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
About you
We are looking for someone with a solid knowledge of income and payment processes, ideally within a large organisation.

You are an excellent communicator who can build effective relationships across finance and non-finance teams, update policies or user guides, and confidently use your own judgment to resolve issues with minimal supervision.
