Data Protection Officer (Fractional Contractor)
We are seeking an experienced Data Protection Officer (Fractional Contractor) to provide specialist privacy and data protection support on a part-time, flexible basis. The successful candidate will act as an independent adviser on compliance with UK data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, helping to maintain effective governance and promote a strong culture of privacy across the organisation. This role is suited to a confident practitioner who can quickly understand business requirements, identify risk and provide clear, proportionate advice to stakeholders at all levels.
Key responsibilities will include monitoring compliance with data protection policies and procedures; maintaining and reviewing records of processing activities; advising on data protection impact assessments, legitimate interests assessments and privacy notices; supporting the management of individual rights requests, personal data breaches and regulatory correspondence; and reviewing data processing agreements and supplier arrangements. You will also provide guidance on the lawful use, retention, sharing and security of personal data, contribute to staff awareness and training, and prepare concise reports highlighting key risks, actions and recommendations. Where appropriate, you will support audits, policy reviews and the development of practical improvement plans.
You will have substantial experience in a data protection, privacy or information governance role, with a sound working knowledge of UK GDPR requirements and relevant guidance from the Information Commissioner’s Office. Professional qualifications such as CIPP/E, CIPM, Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection or equivalent experience would be advantageous. Strong communication, prioritisation and stakeholder management skills are essential, together with the ability to work independently and handle sensitive information with discretion. Experience of working in a consultancy, fractional or multi-client environment would be beneficial. The engagement offers flexibility in working arrangements and scope, with the potential for a mutually agreed schedule based on organisational needs.
