Information Compliance Associate

The Information Compliance Associate plays a vital role in safeguarding trust across our organisation. Within this role you will help ensure that the way we collect, use, and manage personal information reflects our commitment to integrity, transparency, and respect for individual rights.

Acting as an advocate for responsible data practices, you will provide expert guidance across the organisation, empowering teams to manage personal data in line with legal, regulatory, and ethical expectations. Working closely with the Data Protection Officer, you will support the effective implementation of data protection compliance programmes and help cultivate a culture where personal data is valued and protected.

Alongside data protection responsibilities, you will oversee our Freedom of Information (FOI) processes, driving openness, accountability, and timely responses that demonstrate our commitment to public transparency.

The ideal candidate will bring experience working within data protection compliance and/or Freedom of Information environments, with a solid grounding in UK GDPR and the Data Protection Act from both a regulatory and practical standpoint. A recognised compliance or data protection qualification, or equivalent experience demonstrating deep understanding, will support your ability to interpret legislation and apply it effectively across a complex organisation. Experience using technology to streamline DSAR, FOI or other compliance processes is essential, as you will play a key role in helping us modernise and strengthen our information governance workflows.

You'll build strong relationships at every level, earning trust while confidently challenging practices that need to change. Clear and persuasive in both writing and speech, you will have the ability to turn complex regulatory requirements into simple, practical guidance that teams can act on. Your analytical skills help you quickly spot risks, assess proposals and understand their impact on information rights, ensuring compliance remains central to how we operate.

This is a role for someone who enjoys problem-solving, building relationships, and influencing positive change-while ensuring our organisation continues to meet its obligations under UK GDPR, FOI legislation, and wider information rights requirements.
