Data Protection Advisor
We are seeking a knowledgeable and proactive Data Protection Advisor to provide practical guidance on data protection, privacy and information governance. This role will support colleagues across the organisation to handle personal data lawfully, fairly and securely, while helping to promote a strong culture of compliance.
You will advise on the interpretation and application of UK data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. Your responsibilities will include responding to privacy queries, reviewing data protection implications for new projects and processes, and supporting the completion of data protection impact assessments. You will also contribute to the maintenance of records of processing activities, privacy notices, policies, procedures and retention schedules.
The role will involve assisting with the management of individual rights requests, data breaches and information-sharing arrangements. You will help investigate incidents, recommend appropriate remedial action and ensure that records and reporting are accurate and up to date. You may also support due diligence and contract reviews involving third-party suppliers, technology providers and data processors.
Working collaboratively with legal, information security, risk and operational teams, you will deliver clear advice to colleagues at all levels. You will also help develop and deliver awareness materials and training, monitor changes in relevant legislation and regulatory guidance, and contribute to continuous improvements in privacy controls and governance.
Applicants should have practical experience of data protection or privacy compliance, with a sound understanding of UK GDPR principles, individual rights, breach management and data protection impact assessments. Strong analytical, organisational and communication skills are essential, together with the ability to explain complex requirements in a clear and proportionate way.
A relevant professional qualification or membership of a recognised data protection or information governance body would be advantageous. The successful candidate will be discreet, detail-focused and confident working independently while managing competing priorities and building effective relationships with stakeholders.
