This is a delivery‑focused contract role, suited to contractors who are comfortable operating in fast‑paced environments with minimal onboarding.

- Manage and support Subject Access Requests (SARs / DSARs);
- Maintain and update Records of Processing Activities (RoPA);
- Support privacy incident and data breach management where required;
- Provide practical privacy advice to operational and business stakeholders;
- Work closely with legal, IT, information security, and operational teams;
- Support the implementation and embedding of privacy‑by‑design principles;
- Contribute to the development and maintenance of privacy policies and procedures;
- Ensure ongoing compliance with UK GDPR and ICO guidance.
Skills & Experience Required
Essential Experience:
- Proven, hands‑on experience in a Data Privacy or Data Protection role;
- Strong working knowledge of UK GDPR and practical compliance application;
- Experience supporting GDPR remediation, uplift, or compliance programmes;
- Demonstrated ability to operate effectively in contract or interim roles;
- Confident, business‑facing communicator able to work with diverse stakeholders;
- Ability to work independently with minimal supervision or onboarding.
Highly Desirable:
- IAPP qualification (CIPP/E, CIPM, CIPT or equivalent);
- Experience in regulated, healthcare, retail, or large complex organisations;
- Exposure to privacy tooling and data mapping solutions (e.g. OneTrust).
What a Strong Candidate Looks Like
Practical and delivery‑focused, not purely theoretical or policy‑driven.
Positive, proactive attitude with a “can‑do” approach.
Comfortable operating at pace and managing competing priorities.
Used to embedding quickly within new organisations.
