An experienced Data Protection and Information Governance Officer is sought to provide expert advice and practical support on the effective management, protection and lawful use of information. Working with colleagues across the organisation, you will help promote a strong culture of confidentiality, accountability and continuous improvement, ensuring that personal and corporate information is handled in accordance with relevant legislation, regulatory requirements and internal policies.
Your responsibilities will include advising on data protection matters, including data subject rights, information sharing, privacy notices, data protection impact assessments, records of processing activities and personal data breaches. You will coordinate responses to access and other statutory requests, investigate incidents, maintain accurate documentation and contribute to the development, review and implementation of information governance policies, procedures and guidance. You will also support the management of records throughout their lifecycle, helping teams to apply appropriate retention, disposal, security and access controls.
The role will involve monitoring compliance, identifying risks and recommending proportionate improvements. You will deliver training and awareness sessions, prepare reports for senior stakeholders and assist with audits, assurance activity and regulatory enquiries. The successful candidate will have a sound understanding of UK data protection law, particularly the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, together with knowledge of information governance, records management and information security principles.

You should be confident working independently, managing competing priorities and handling sensitive information with discretion and professionalism. Relevant professional qualifications or demonstrable equivalent experience would be advantageous.
