Privacy Officer
We are seeking an experienced Privacy Officer to support the effective management of privacy, data protection and information governance across the organisation. This is an opportunity to play a key role in promoting responsible use of personal information, advising colleagues and helping to maintain public and stakeholder confidence.
You will provide practical advice on data protection legislation, regulatory expectations and internal policies. Your responsibilities will include maintaining records of processing activities, supporting data protection impact assessments, reviewing privacy notices and advising on data-sharing arrangements, contracts and new systems or initiatives involving personal information.
You will monitor compliance with relevant requirements, help manage individual rights requests and contribute to the investigation and reporting of personal data breaches. You will also support the development and delivery of privacy training, guidance and awareness activities, ensuring that colleagues understand their responsibilities and apply good information-handling practices in their day-to-day work.
The successful candidate will have strong knowledge of UK data protection law, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, together with experience of privacy or information governance in a complex organisation. A relevant professional qualification or membership of a recognised data protection body would be advantageous. Experience of working with risk assessments, audits, policies and regulatory enquiries is also desirable.
You will be confident interpreting complex requirements and explaining them clearly to people with varying levels of technical knowledge. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, sound judgement and a pragmatic approach are essential. You should be highly organised, able to manage competing priorities and comfortable working independently while building effective relationships with colleagues and external stakeholders.
This role offers the opportunity to contribute to a strong culture of privacy and accountability, while helping to shape processes that protect individuals and support effective organisational decision-making. Applications are welcomed from candidates who can demonstrate integrity, discretion and a commitment to continuous improvement.
