Data Protection Advisor
An opportunity has arisen for a Data Protection Advisor to support the effective management of data protection and privacy across a complex organisation. You will provide practical, proportionate advice to colleagues and stakeholders, helping to ensure that personal information is handled lawfully, fairly and transparently throughout its lifecycle.
Your responsibilities will include advising on data protection requirements under the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018, reviewing data protection impact assessments, and supporting the maintenance of records of processing activities. You will assess and advise on data sharing arrangements, contracts, privacy notices, direct marketing activity and the use of new systems or technologies.
You will also help manage individual rights requests, personal data breaches and related investigations, ensuring that issues are recorded, escalated and resolved within appropriate timescales. The role will involve monitoring compliance, contributing to audits and risk assessments, maintaining clear guidance and procedures, and delivering engaging training and awareness sessions to a range of audiences.
The successful candidate will have practical experience of working in a data protection, privacy, information governance or compliance role. You will have a sound understanding of UK data protection legislation and be confident interpreting regulatory requirements and translating them into clear, workable advice. Experience of handling data subject rights requests, breach management, privacy impact assessments and information-sharing agreements would be advantageous.
You will be organised, analytical and comfortable managing competing priorities in a busy environment. Excellent written and verbal communication skills are essential, together with the ability to build effective relationships and explain complex issues to non-specialists. Professional qualifications or relevant training in data protection, such as CIPP/E, CIPM or equivalent experience, would be welcomed.
This role offers the opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to privacy, accountability and responsible information use. A supportive working environment, ongoing professional development and flexible working arrangements are available, subject to business requirements.
