This is a key role responsible for ensuring compliance with applicable data protection legislation, regulatory requirements and internal policies, while supporting teams to use information responsibly and securely. You will provide practical, proportionate advice on privacy matters and promote a strong culture of accountability, transparency and continuous improvement.
Your responsibilities will include maintaining and reviewing data protection policies, procedures, records of processing activities and information governance documentation. You will monitor compliance, coordinate data protection impact assessments, advise on information-sharing arrangements and support the management of individual rights requests. You will also oversee the investigation and reporting of personal data breaches, maintain appropriate records and liaise with relevant supervisory authorities where required. The role will involve delivering engaging training and awareness programmes, producing reports for senior stakeholders and advising on privacy risks associated with new projects, systems, suppliers and business processes.
Applicants should have substantial experience in a data protection, privacy or information governance position, with a strong working knowledge of the UK GDPR, Data Protection Act 2018 and related legislation. A relevant professional qualification, such as CIPP/E, CIPM, BCS or equivalent experience, would be advantageous. You will need excellent analytical, communication and influencing skills, alongside the confidence to explain complex requirements clearly to audiences at all levels. Strong organisational ability, sound judgement and experience handling sensitive or confidential information are essential. The successful candidate will be proactive, collaborative and solutions-focused, with the ability to manage competing priorities, work independently and build effective relationships across a wide range of teams.
