About the Role
We are seeking a proactive and adaptable Information Governance Officer to support our core IG functions during a critical period of team transition and organisational restructure. This contract role is ideal for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, digital-first environment, with a strong foundation in Subject Access Requests (SARs), data protection, and information governance best practices.
You will be stepping in following the departure of a well-regarded predecessor and working alongside a small but committed team to ensure compliance, responsiveness, and governance continuity. This is a unique opportunity to contribute to an evolving IG landscape with future leadership potential.
Key Responsibilities
- Subject Access Requests (SARs): Lead on the processing of SARs for weeks 1 and 2; manage digital-only SARs for approx. 2,000 customers across 100 services.
- Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs): Support and advise on DPIA completion and review.
- Asset Registers & ROPAs: Maintain and update Records of Processing Activities and IG asset registers.
- Police & Third-Party Requests: Ensure compliance and appropriate release of information to police and external agencies.
- Information Governance Best Practice: Provide advice and support to service teams; ensure consistent IG standards.
