Summary
The Data Protection strand will enable IBCA to process personal data while assuring compliance with data protection legislation, and is led by IBCA’s Data Protection Officer.
The KIM strand focuses on the information lifecycle within the department to provide effective oversight of organisation, storage, and exploitation of available data, and is led by the Head of Knowledge and Information Management.
The Information Rights and Disclosure strand leads on providing responses to FOI requests, Subject Access Requests, and related correspondence relating to data subject rights and requests for information. This is led by the Information Rights and Disclosure Lead.
This vacancy is for a Senior Data Compliance Officer, who will report to the Data Protection Officer and will work within the Data Protection function, alongside Data Compliance Officers who support the other functions.
The three functions will collaborate to provide effective data governance for IBCA, with an expectation that work will also flow between the strands as circumstances and business needs require.
Responsibilities
• Deputising for the Data Protection Officer for IBCA,
• Advising on data protection related issues e.g. DPIAs, DSAs, lawfulness, controllership,
• Determining lawful bases for processing and controllership,
• Considering data subject rights and privacy issues,
• Delivering relevant policy and procedure,
• Addressing organisational training needs.
• Providing support on Information Management and Information Rights matters as may be required.
Opportunities to move to the new Infected Blood Compensation Authority (IBCA). At the moment all IBCA roles are hosted by Cabinet Office within the Civil Service. However, once IBCA becomes operational, it is anticipated that most of these roles will transfer to IBCA, which is a new Arms Length Body (ALB) separate from the Cabinet Office. Roles that transfer to IBCA from Cabinet Office will maintain the same or substantially the same terms and conditions of employment that are overall no less favourable. It is anticipated that employees who move from Cabinet Office to IBCA will be able to continue to participate in the Civil Service Pension arrangements with no break in their pensionable service. Roles commencing after IBCA has become operational will be with IBCA itself on similar terms and conditions. All successful candidates will receive full details of the terms and conditions of employment for their role with their formal job offer.
Please note that the mission of IBCA means that it is likely to be operational for a period of approximately 5 to 7 years. When IBCA’s work begins to wind down, IBCA employees will receive support and practical guidance to find a new role, whether in the Civil Service, another Arms Length Body (ALB), or an external employer.
