Data Protection Specialist (0619)
We are seeking a Data Protection Specialist (0619) to support the effective management, implementation and continuous improvement of data protection and privacy practices. The successful candidate will provide practical advice on the collection, use, storage, sharing and retention of personal data, helping teams meet applicable legal, regulatory and organisational requirements. This role will work with stakeholders across the organisation to promote responsible information handling and strengthen a culture of privacy and accountability.
Key responsibilities will include maintaining records of processing activities, supporting data protection impact assessments, reviewing privacy notices, and advising on data sharing arrangements, contracts and information governance procedures. You will monitor compliance with policies and relevant legislation, assist with the management of individual rights requests, and support the investigation, recording and reporting of personal data breaches. The role will also contribute to staff training and awareness activities, prepare reports and management information, and help identify and address privacy risks through audits, reviews and improvement plans.
Applicants should have experience in data protection, information governance, privacy, compliance or a closely related field, with a sound understanding of data protection principles and their practical application. Knowledge of relevant legislation and regulatory guidance is essential, alongside the ability to interpret requirements and provide clear, proportionate advice to non-specialists. Strong analytical, organisational and written communication skills are required, together with discretion when handling sensitive information. You should be confident working independently and collaboratively, managing competing priorities, maintaining accurate records and building effective relationships with colleagues and external partners. A relevant professional qualification or recognised privacy certification would be advantageous, as would experience using case management, governance or records management systems.
