Data Protection Advisor
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Advisor to provide practical, proportionate advice on privacy and information governance matters across a complex organisation. You will help ensure that personal data is handled lawfully, securely and transparently, supporting compliance with applicable data protection legislation, regulatory guidance and internal policies. This role will involve working with colleagues at all levels, translating legal and regulatory requirements into clear, workable processes.
Your responsibilities will include advising on data protection impact assessments, records of processing activities, data sharing arrangements, privacy notices, retention schedules and the use of new technologies. You will support the management of individual rights requests, personal data breaches, complaints and regulatory enquiries, ensuring that matters are assessed, documented and resolved within required timescales. You will also contribute to policy development, compliance monitoring, risk assessments, audits and the delivery of staff training and awareness activities. The role will require you to maintain accurate records, identify emerging privacy risks and recommend appropriate remedial action.
Applicants should have proven experience in a data protection, privacy, information governance or compliance role, together with a sound understanding of relevant data protection principles and legislation. A recognised qualification in data protection, information governance, law or a related discipline would be advantageous. You will need strong analytical and organisational skills, excellent written and verbal communication, and the confidence to provide clear advice to both technical and non-technical audiences. The ability to manage competing priorities, exercise sound judgement and handle confidential information with discretion is essential. Experience of working with information security, records management, risk or assurance teams would be beneficial.
