About the role:
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Compliance Officer with a strong focus towards Data Protection, Resilience and Business Continuity processes to ensure Activate Learning achieves and maintains a high standard of general compliance, including our data protection responsibilities and policies and procedures and adherence to statutory compliance across the group.
In the role you will work within the Administration and Compliance Team to primarily support the Data Protection, Resilience and Statutory Compliance functions as well as meeting submission requirements as laid down by various regulatory bodies. The role will support a variety of meetings by drafting agendas and reports, processing Subject Access Requests, Freedom of Information requests, and monitoring CCTV use.
