We welcome applications from both legal and non-legal professionals with relevant experience. This includes qualified solicitors with between 1–8 years' post-qualification experience, as well as non-qualified candidates such as in-house data protection practitioners, legal executives, specialist advisors, or senior paralegals who have strong, hands-on experience handling Data Subject Access Requests (DSARs), Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, or broader GDPR compliance work.
The successful candidate will bring solid, practical experience advising on matters relating to the GDPR and the Data Protection Act. You will be confident managing DSARs and responding to data breaches, demonstrating a pragmatic and solutions-focused approach. Strong communication and organisational skills are essential, alongside the ability to manage competing priorities effectively. We are looking for someone who is collaborative in their working style, proactive in their approach, and motivated to continue learning and developing in a fast-evolving area of law.
While not essential, additional experience in certain areas would be advantageous. This includes familiarity with FOIA requests, involvement in data breach response—particularly in the context of cyber incidents—and experience supporting contentious data matters. Exposure to ICO investigations, regulatory enquiries, or First-tier Tribunal proceedings would also be beneficial.
