Bring chartered compliance leadership into the work that needs it.

Some compliance priorities need experienced attention quickly, but do not justify a permanent leadership appointment. Levantis provides flexible day-rate assignments and retainer arrangements for organisations that need direct access to Jamie Carraher, CMIOSH, MIIRSM. The model is built around an agreed outcome, a visible scope and defined deliverables. It gives leadership teams a straightforward route to senior technical input during periods of change, growth, tender activity, mobilisation or governance review.

The work is not limited to advice in a meeting. A day-rate assignment can include a focused audit, bid-readiness review, policy and system review, board paper, leadership workshop, document review, project-stage intervention, mobilisation plan or corrective-action programme. A retainer creates a recurring cadence for agreed priorities, technical review, meetings, escalation and reporting. The detail is set before work starts so the client knows what is included and what needs a separate instruction.

Every assignment starts with the business issue that needs attention. Jamie clarifies the outcome, the decision makers, known risks, documents available, deadline, stakeholders and expected output. Levantis then sets an action plan that identifies the work to be completed, the information required from the client, key meetings, review stages and handover. This prevents an open-ended arrangement from drifting and gives leaders a transparent view of progress.

For retainers, the agreed cadence can include scheduled priority reviews, leadership updates, document-control oversight, tender and mobilisation input, management-system actions, incident-learning review or a defined allocation of senior consultancy time. Each period ends with a concise record of completed work, decisions, actions, remaining priorities and next steps. The arrangement stays focused on business needs as they develop while retaining clear professional and commercial boundaries.

Compliance activity creates more value when it is connected to the decisions that affect bids, delivery, resource planning, governance and customer confidence. Levantis works with leadership teams to turn broad concerns into practical workstreams: improve evidence before a tender, create controlled mobilisation documents, resolve a management-system gap, prepare for a client review, strengthen accountability, or establish a clear escalation route for a live issue.

Where the instruction involves health and safety management, the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1999 provide relevant legal context. Construction work can also bring CDM 2015 duties into scope. Levantis maps the applicable framework to the defined assignment rather than applying a generic legal statement to every client. Formal legal advice and statutory dutyholder responsibilities remain outside the consultancy scope unless expressly agreed in writing.

A flexible arrangement works well when a business needs a named practitioner who understands the context and can move between strategy and delivery. Jamie can review tender evidence with the bid team, work through mobilisation controls with operational leads, challenge a document set, prepare management information or join a focused leadership discussion. The same person then tracks the actions through to the agreed handover, which reduces repeated briefing and keeps accountability clear.

The service is structured to work alongside internal teams and specialist providers. Levantis does not displace responsibilities held by directors, managers, appointed dutyholders, legal advisers, certification bodies or client teams. It brings disciplined professional input to the defined work, records the advice and actions clearly, and leaves the organisation with usable outputs that fit its own management arrangements.

Day-rate and retainer consultancy gives growing organisations access to senior capability without building unnecessary permanent overhead. The arrangement scales around the work that genuinely needs experienced input. It is particularly effective where the organisation has capable internal people but needs a clear technical lead for a concentrated programme, a challenging client requirement or a recurring governance rhythm.

A first conversation establishes the immediate priority and the right commercial model for it. Levantis then confirms the scope, deliverables, availability, contact points, confidentiality requirements and review rhythm in writing. From there, the client has a direct working relationship with the practitioner delivering the work and a transparent basis for reviewing whether the arrangement remains aligned to its priorities.
