‘Got a thing about the finer details?' You will need a good eye for detail in this role.

About you

We’re excited to be looking for a new Information Governance and Complaints Manager (Data Protection Officer) to lead, develop and manage our expert team of data and complaints professionals, and be responsible for the strategic and operational aspects of data protection compliance, information governance (including Freedom of Information Act 2000 (FOIA) and Environmental Information Regulation 2004 (EIR) requirements), and corporate complaints.

This is a senior, high-impact role with the independence, visibility, and authority to shape how data protection operates across our Council. You’ll work closely with senior leadership, challenge constructively, and help embed practical, commercially focused privacy thinking into a fast-moving environment.

You have proven experience operating as a Data Protection Officer within a complex organisation and a recognised data protection qualification (or be a qualified Solicitor or Barrister), and familiarity with corporate complaints processes (including matters referred to the Ombudsman).

About the role and the team

In this role, you will:

Lead the Council’s strategic and policy approach to information governance and complaints handling;
Proactively and regularly liaise with officers from across the Council, and provide independent oversight and challenge;
Act as the Council’s Data Protection Officer and carry out all associated duties;
Apply sound professional judgement and advise on practical solutions to information governance and issues arising from corporate complaints;
Ensure the Council’s arrangements for dealing with complaints, and the Council’s response to complaints, are legally compliant and reflect good practice;
Lead and manage a team of approx. 4 officers responsible for information governance and complaints, and advise and guide officers across the Council on complaints administered within their areas as necessary;
Act as a point of escalation for all information governance and complaints matters, including carrying out independent internal reviews of FOIA and EIR responses;
Deliver training to managers, officers and councillors on information governance and complaints requirements;
Assist and advise the Council’s committees, councillors and all directorates on information governance issues and complaint activity, and provide support and training as necessary.

What’s in it for you?

As part of our commitment to being a supportive and people‑centred employer, we offer a range of benefits designed to help you thrive both in and outside of work:

£59,530 - £62,869 per annum (up to £65,089 for exceptional performance once in post) (Pay award pending)
28 days plus bank holidays, rising by an additional week’s leave after 5 years of continuous local authority service
Hybrid working, with flexibility across our sites, and home working
Local Government Pension Scheme, with the option of Additional Voluntary Contributions (AVCs)
Employee Assistance Programme offering free 24/7 legal, financial, and personal wellbeing advice
Employee discount scheme with savings across major supermarkets, retailers, restaurants, and leisure providers
Cycle to Work Scheme, helping you save around 40 percent on bikes and accessories
A values‑led organisation, guided by our LEAF values (Learning, Empathy, Ambition, Fairness)
Access to learning and development opportunities to support your growth
A supportive, inclusive culture, where everyone is welcomed and valued
Buying and selling of annual leave

We are proud to be a Disability Confident Employer and offer a range of active staff networks, including:
