[mrstickletum]

I'm starting a new job in this area, call
Centre. Im hoping it leads me into a new career pathway as I'd really like to get into a professional setting ( current ly hospitality) if you started off in this type of work what do you do now, or what type of jobs become available to people in this line of work?

Financial crime is an interesting area to get into.

You could work your way up by getting into financial crime investiagations for customer files - eg if you’re working in a call centre/admin team in a product that’s high risk for financial crime you can get into spotting red flags in phone calls or supporting colleagues with investigations. You can train to be an MLSB (money laundering sounding board) so you can help colleagues with their concerns.

Or you could go straight into a role with a specific financial crime focus, like some companies will have particular departments who deal with investigations or anti-money laundering due diligence.

Financial crime is the kind of field where having a good awareness of the risks in the industry and detailed understanding of the law and internal business policy is helpful.

Have a look into professional qualifications too with places like the CII - have a browse on their website for the different things you could do. Another good place to look is job ads eg in Linked In as it will give you an idea of the kinds of roles out there and the skills/qualifications needed.
