Job Description

Information is the lifeblood of modern policing. High-quality data is essential for operational decisions to be made efficiently and effectively, reducing risks to victims and witnesses.

This role within the Alliance Information Management Department is an exciting opportunity to work in a specialist team ensuring information held in Police systems is fit for purpose and complies with data protection legislation and data standards.

The Senior Data Quality Advisor is a new role working as part of the Data Quality Team within the newly formed Information Standards pillar of the Alliance Information Management Department.

The aim of the Data Quality Team is to improve the quality of data to aid Force-wide operational decision making, improving performance and reducing risk to victims and witnesses of crime.

The Data Quality Team is responsible for ensuring that all information held within NICHE complies with the Management of Police Information (MoPI) standards and guidance, ensuring information is accurate, adequate, relevant, and timely.

The Senior Data Quality Advisor works as part of the Data Quality Team in the Review, Retention & Disposal (RRD) of records in the capacity as a secondary decision maker regarding the MoPI reviews.

The post holder will ensure effective prioritisation of tasks for the DQT; mainly upon demand through 'saved searches', tasking requests from officers and/or staff members as required, to ensure the Force is both compliant and follows legislative requirements.

MoPI reviews are required by legislation and this role defines the process of these reviews, their priority, and the resolution of how data should be treated.

The post holder will act as a gatekeeper for incoming work to the DQT, ensuring suitable triage and timeliness in responding to data quality tasking and issues.

The Senior Data Quality Advisor is required to identify emerging trends around requests, issues / corrections or through DQT contact, assisting the Data Quality Manager in influencing and promoting the cultural change in Force in regard to maintaining good data quality.

This role is the first point of escalation for the DQT and will be required to support the DQ Advisors in complex or emotionally upsetting cases.

This role will also make decisions on what requires escalation to the Data Quality Manager for review / decision as appropriate.

As part of this role, successful candidates will have the opportunity to complete a Nationally recognised Records Management Certification.

The post will be termed as a static-worker during probation or until competent and will be located at Middlemoor HQ Exeter.

The role requires:

  • The ability to undertake effective research and analysis
  • Knowledge of Management of Police Information (MoPI)
  • Knowledge of the Data Protection Act and GDPR
  • Strong decision-making and problem-solving skills
  • Good attention to detail with a methodical approach
