Data Protection Support Officer
We are seeking a Data Protection Support Officer to provide practical and administrative support in maintaining high standards of data protection, confidentiality and information governance. The successful candidate will help ensure that personal information is handled lawfully, securely and in accordance with relevant legislation, policies and procedures. This is an opportunity to develop your experience in data protection while contributing to a professional, collaborative and service-focused team.
Key responsibilities will include supporting the management of data protection enquiries, access requests, information sharing queries and personal data breaches. You will maintain accurate records, monitor deadlines, prepare correspondence and assist with the coordination of investigations and follow-up actions. The role will also involve helping to review privacy notices, data processing documentation, retention schedules and data protection impact assessments. You may be required to support audits, compile reports, update guidance and contribute to staff training and awareness activities.
You should have a good understanding of data protection principles, confidentiality requirements and information security practices, with knowledge of applicable privacy legislation and regulatory guidance. Experience of working with sensitive or confidential information, maintaining detailed records and handling enquiries in a professional manner is desirable. Strong organisational and communication skills are essential, along with the ability to prioritise competing demands, meet deadlines and work accurately with limited supervision. You will be expected to demonstrate sound judgement, discretion and attention to detail, and to explain data protection requirements clearly to colleagues with varying levels of knowledge. Proficiency with standard office software and the ability to analyse information and produce clear written documentation are also required.
