Data Protection Specialist (0619)
We are seeking a Data Protection Specialist to support the effective management, implementation and continuous improvement of data protection and privacy practices. The successful candidate will help ensure that personal data is handled lawfully, securely and transparently, in line with applicable legislation, regulatory expectations and internal policies. This role will work closely with colleagues across information security, legal, technology, human resources, procurement and operational teams to provide practical, proportionate advice on privacy matters.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining records of processing activities, supporting data protection impact assessments, reviewing privacy notices, and advising on data sharing, retention, international transfers and the use of suppliers or third-party services. You will assist with the management of individual rights requests, personal data breaches, audits and compliance reviews, ensuring that issues are accurately recorded, investigated and resolved within required timescales. The role will also contribute to policy development, staff guidance and awareness initiatives, helping to embed good data protection practice throughout the organisation. You may be required to monitor regulatory developments and assess their potential impact on business processes.
Applicants should have practical experience in data protection, privacy, information governance or a closely related field, together with a sound understanding of relevant data protection principles and legislation. Experience of conducting risk assessments, documenting processing activities, handling rights requests or supporting breach management would be advantageous. Strong analytical, organisational and communication skills are essential, as is the ability to explain complex requirements clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. You will be expected to manage competing priorities, maintain accurate records, exercise sound judgement and work collaboratively while handling sensitive information with discretion. Relevant professional qualifications or membership of a recognised privacy or information governance body would be desirable.
