About the Role

As a Fraud Investigator within Newham’s Counter Fraud Team, you will lead complex investigations into housing, tenancy, Right to Buy, and wider corporate fraud. You will gather and evaluate evidence, conduct interviews under caution, and prepare cases for prosecution, civil action, or internal disciplinary proceedings.

The role requires a proactive approach to identifying and preventing fraud, including undertaking visits, enquiries, and partnership working with internal teams and external agencies. You will manage your own caseload, ensuring investigations are completed to a high standard, within legislative requirements and agreed timescales.

You will also contribute to strengthening fraud prevention by identifying emerging risks, recommending improvements to processes, and supporting the development of a strong anti-fraud culture across the Council.
