Data Protection and Compliance Officer
We are seeking a Data Protection and Compliance Officer to support the development, implementation and continuous improvement of effective data protection and compliance practices. The successful candidate will help ensure that personal information is handled lawfully, securely and transparently, while promoting a strong culture of accountability across the organisation. This role will involve working with colleagues at all levels, providing practical advice and helping teams understand and meet their regulatory responsibilities.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring compliance with applicable data protection legislation, maintaining policies, procedures and records of processing activities, and supporting data protection impact assessments. You will manage and respond to data subject requests, personal data breaches and compliance queries, escalating issues where appropriate. The role will also involve conducting audits and compliance reviews, maintaining risk registers, tracking remedial actions, and assisting with the delivery of staff training and awareness programmes. You will work closely with internal stakeholders and, where required, external advisers, suppliers and regulatory bodies.
Applicants should have experience in data protection, information governance, risk, audit or a related compliance function, together with a sound understanding of relevant privacy principles and regulatory requirements. A recognised qualification in data protection, compliance, law, information security or a similar discipline would be advantageous. You will need excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail and the ability to interpret complex requirements and translate them into clear, practical guidance. The ideal candidate will be organised, discreet and confident handling sensitive information, with the judgement to prioritise competing demands and challenge constructively. Experience of working with data mapping, incident management, policy development or compliance monitoring would be beneficial.
