Data Protection Assistant
We are seeking a diligent and organised Data Protection Assistant to support the effective management of personal data and help maintain compliance with applicable data protection legislation. This role is suited to someone with strong attention to detail, excellent administration skills and an interest in privacy, information governance and regulatory compliance. You will work with colleagues across the organisation, handling sensitive information professionally and contributing to a culture of responsible data use.
Key responsibilities will include assisting with the management and monitoring of data protection requests, such as access, rectification, deletion and other individual rights enquiries. You will help maintain accurate records of requests, investigations, processing activities, data breaches, consent records and related correspondence. The role will also involve supporting privacy impact assessments, reviewing data protection documentation, preparing reports and assisting with internal audits and compliance checks. You may be required to help coordinate responses to incidents, escalate potential risks and ensure actions are completed within agreed timescales. Providing guidance to colleagues on routine data protection queries and helping to develop awareness materials and training resources will also form part of the position.
Applicants should have experience in an administrative, compliance, information governance or customer service environment, ideally with an understanding of data protection principles and confidentiality requirements. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, together with the ability to manage competing priorities, maintain accurate records and handle sensitive matters with discretion. You should be confident using standard office software and be comfortable working with databases, spreadsheets and document management systems. A proactive approach, sound judgement and willingness to learn are important. An appropriate qualification or demonstrable knowledge of data protection legislation would be advantageous, although full support and development opportunities will be provided for the right candidate.
