Job Overview

This position offers a hybrid working arrangement within the UK, allowing the successful candidate to be based at one of our main facilities, subject to agreement.

You will become a vital member of the Data Security, Privacy, and Records Management Team as we undertake a significant transformation initiative. Your primary responsibility will be to spearhead the Records Management Framework and Strategy, playing a crucial role in integrating Privacy and Security by Design throughout the organization. Additionally, you will ensure that all records, both physical and digital, are managed in accordance with relevant legislation, regulations, and best practices.

  • Assisting the Data Security, Privacy, and Records Management Team with the daily implementation and adherence to NHSBT's data security and privacy initiatives.
  • Providing expert advice on complex national legislation and NHSBT policies to staff members.
  • Coordinating responses to inquiries and guidance requests from internal personnel and external organizations.
  • Supporting the Records Manager in formulating and executing a records management strategy and training program.
  • Leading the team in managing and addressing information requests and complaints.

  • Updating and promoting data security, privacy, and records management policies.
  • Assisting in the management of action and improvement plans for the Data Security and Protection Toolkit.
  • Enhancing staff awareness of information governance and data privacy initiatives.

You may be required to travel and spend time away from your primary location on an ad-hoc basis, which could involve working irregular hours and overnight stays when necessary, with prior notice.
