Data Protection Assistant

Reference: lpe3xay4wwfmwmp46zkf

We are seeking a detail-oriented Data Protection Assistant to support the effective management of data protection and privacy activities. This role is suited to someone with strong organisational skills, a careful approach to handling confidential information, and an interest in information governance. You will work with colleagues across the business to help maintain compliance with applicable data protection legislation, internal policies, and recognised best practice.

Key responsibilities will include assisting with data protection impact assessments, maintaining records of processing activities, and supporting the review and updating of privacy notices, policies, procedures, and guidance. You will help manage data subject requests, including access, rectification, erasure, and objection requests, ensuring that enquiries are logged, coordinated, and handled within required timescales. The role will also involve recording and escalating potential personal data breaches, supporting investigations, and preparing clear reports and updates for relevant stakeholders. You may assist with audits, supplier and third-party assessments, staff training, awareness activities, and the monitoring of actions arising from compliance reviews.

Applicants should have experience in an administrative, compliance, legal, information governance, or privacy-focused role, together with a practical understanding of data protection principles and confidentiality requirements. Familiarity with relevant legislation, such as the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, would be advantageous. You will need excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to prioritise tasks while managing sensitive information responsibly. Confidence using standard office and record-management systems is essential, as is the ability to work independently and collaboratively. A relevant qualification or professional training in data protection, privacy, information governance, or a related discipline would be welcomed, although equivalent practical experience will also be considered.
