Your new organisation
We are a renowned charity dedicated to providing mobility and freedom to blind and partially sighted people. With a rich history of transforming lives, we are committed to ensuring that everyone with sight loss can live the life they choose. Right now, we require a temporary Data Protection Officer to manage and process subject access requests (SARs), retrieving personal information held on the requestor and then prepare it for release in compliance with the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA).
Your new role
You will play a pivotal role in overseeing our data protection strategy and ensuring compliance with GDPR and other relevant legislation. A significant part of your responsibilities will involve managing and processing Subject Access Requests (SARs), ensuring that all requests are handled efficiently and in accordance with legal requirements. You will also develop and maintain data protection policies and procedures, conduct regular audits and risk assessments, and provide expert advice and training to staff on data protection matters. Acting as the main point of contact for data protection queries and issues, you will liaise with regulatory authorities as needed. This is a critical role where your expertise will directly contribute to the safety and privacy of our stakeholders' data.
What you'll need to succeed
To excel in this role, you will need proven experience as a Data Protection Officer or in a similar role, with in-depth knowledge of GDPR and national data protection laws. A strong understanding of data protection principles and practices is essential, along with excellent communication and interpersonal skills. You should be able to work independently and manage multiple tasks effectively.
