Data Protection Assistant

Reporting to the Data Protection Manager, you'll be responsible for supporting the Data Protection Team by managing and responding to Data Subject Access Requests (\"DSARs\") and queries in accordance with data protection laws and regulations, including the GDPR. Your responsibilities will include handling administrative tasks related to DSARs, maintaining accurate records, and providing overall assistance with general data protection matters. Additionally, you'll ensure timely and effective communication with data subjects and internal stakeholders.
You do not need to have experience in the legal field to be successful in this role; strong administrative skills are all that's required. If you would like to learn more about the role before formally applying, please contact Claire Jepson for an overview.
We believe that a hybrid, flexible working approach offers you - and your colleagues - the best of both worlds. Face-to-face collaboration is an integral part of our warm, friendly culture, so you'll work from our head office three days a week, working flexibly around our core working hours of 10am-3pm. Beyond that, how, when and where you work is up to you. With a subsidised canteen, free parking and a comfortable, relaxed environment, we've worked hard to build an office you'll want to work in. We also know that, when it comes to school pick-ups and home deliveries, it's nice to have the flexibility to do both.
