**Information Compliance Officer**

**Permanent - 25 Hours per week**

**£14,843 - £15,671**

**County Hall, Dorchester**

The Information Compliance Team is based within the Assurance Service and manages data breaches, Subject Access Requests (SARs), Freedom of Information (FOI) requests and Environmental Information Regulation (EIR) requests, in compliance with statutory timescales. The team provides advice on the UK General Data Protection Regulation. The team works with services to ensure that the right resolution is reached and ensures that the Council is able to learn from issues and continuously improves.

This role provides an opportunity to get a good understanding of the wide range of services that the Council provides, interacting with the full range of departments.

The role is based at County Hall in Dorchester but with the opportunity to work flexibly from home when work/allocated tasks will allow. Although our service prides itself on being flexible to allow family-friendly hours, there will be a regular requirement to work from the office, for this specific role, in order to assist with general admin tasks such as scanning and printing.

We are seeking someone who is pro-active, motivated, and flexible in their approach to work, confident in using their own initiative and able to prioritise their workload to meet deadlines. Attention to detail, accuracy, excellent IT skills and a digital mindset are also a requirement of the role.

**What you will be doing**

You will support the Data Protection Officer and Information Compliance Team in managing data breaches and processing information requests. This will include recording and maintaining caseload records and liaising with services for responses.

You will monitor and produce key performance indicators and assist the Data Protection Officer and team in capturing lessons to be learnt from cases that have arisen. As touched on above, there will also be a requirement for the post holder to work from the office to complete scanning and printing as directed by the Senior Information Compliance Officer(s) and Assistant Assurance Manager(who oversees the Subject Access Request Team).

The post holder will also be required to review large amounts of records looking for documents from third party organisations. This however can be done remotely, once any relevant paper files have been scanned.

Although this post has a focus on admin tasks, there will also be a requirement to support any of the other duties outlined within the job description. This will be dependent on team resources and fluctuating demands on the service.

**About you**

Good organisational skills including the ability to assess and manage conflicting work demands, frequently reprioritising and often at short notice is essential. You should have first class communication and interpersonal skills, both oral and written, when dealing with individuals including the ability to challenge views in order to influence them. This can include the views of Senior Managers.

You will be helpful and have a proactive approach to working within a team but also work effectively / independently with little supervision where required.

You would ideally have a basic knowledge of data protection, but will work under the guidance of the Senior Information Compliance Officers. All training required will be provided on the job and we are a big supporter of investing in people. If you therefore think you would be an asset to our team please apply
