Compliance / Audit Signer
This is the AML control point through which every matter passes at Homey's conveyancing operation. We're looking for a qualified conveyancer or solicitor to review and sign off client due diligence, source of funds and risk assessments prepared across our conveyancing brands, reporting into the Business Unit Manager and working closely with our Compliance Officer for Legal Practice (COLP).
What you'll do
Review and sign due diligence, ID verification and matter risk assessments on every new matter within our service standard.
Review and sign source of funds/source of wealth evidence before funds are accepted onto any matter.
Escalate red flags to the COLP the same day, with a clear recommendation.
Give returned files precise, actionable feedback on exactly what's missing - so the same gap isn't repeated.
What excellence looks like
No matter proceeds past a control point without a signed check.
Returned files tell the conveyancer exactly what's missing - no back-and-forth needed.
Turnaround is fast enough that signing is never the reason a matter is delayed.
Requirements
Qualified conveyancer, solicitor or CILEx-qualified, with solid AML/CDD experience in residential conveyancing.
Working knowledge of the SRA Standards and Regulations and current AML/source-of-funds expectations.
Sharp eye for risk with the judgement to escalate the right things, not everything.
Comfort being the "no" in a fast-moving commercial environment when a check genuinely isn't satisfied.
Benefits
Salary £45,000-£62,000 DOE.
A designated, respected control-point role with real authority - not a rubber stamp.
Hybrid working, Wolverhampton base.
Direct line into the COLP and senior leadership on emerging risk themes.
