Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service are looking for an experienced, enthusiastic Information Governance Officer to join our Information and Data Governance Team, working within our Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) department. You will join us on a full time, permanent basis working 37 hours per week. In return, you will receive a competitive salary of £38,220 - £40,777 (Grade 6). This role is based at our Service Headquarters in Exeter, but there is also the possibility for some home working / the possibility to work from another Service location with agreement from the hiring manager. As well as this we will offer you additional benefits, and a great place to work.
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service is the largest non-metropolitan Fire and Rescue Service in England. We provide prevention, protection, and response services across the counties of Devon and Somerset.
Our vision is that together, we will work to end preventable fire and rescue emergencies, creating a safer world for you and your family. Keeping people safe is what we do, and we owe our fantastic reputation to our highly skilled and motivated workforce.
This is an exciting opportunity to joining a team which supports the Service in achieving its statutory obligations in compliance risk management. The Information Compliance team is part of the wider Information and Data Governance Function that sits within the Digital Data and Technology Department. Responding to information requests from internal and external sources, investigating security events, assessing information processing risks and raising awareness make this role an exciting, challenging and value adding asset to the Service.
This role would suit an individual who enjoys problem solving, helping others, has a strong attention to detail, great communication skills and is confident making decisions around statutory and operational guidance.
This role can be completed largely from home, or any local Service premises, with the expectation that the successful candidate will come to SHQ when required. Currently there is mandatory attendance at a monthly team meeting with the wider Information and data Governance function.
Key responsibilities include:
Managing requests for information via the UK GDPR, Freedom of Information Act and Environmental Information Regulations.
Assessing information processing risk via Data Protection Impact Assessments.
Investigating reported security events, mitigating risk and analysing trends.
Delivering training and awareness on good IG practice.
If you have any queries or would like to speak to someone and find out more about the role, please contact Ola Young via Oyoung@dsfire.gov.uk
Closing Date: 2359hrs 29th Aug 2025
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and vulnerable adults, and all employees must share this commitment and adhere to the Services Safeguarding Policy and Procedure.
Fire and Rescue Authority roles are listed in Schedule 1 of the Rehabilitation of Offenders Act 1974 (Exceptions) Order and as such it is our policy to require all applicants to disclose any criminal convictions (both spent and unspent) including driving offences, cautions, and/or reprimands.
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Authority are committed to the rehabilitation of offenders, and as such any positive disclosures will incorporate a reasonable and proportionate response.
As a Service and as individuals:
We are proud to help
We are honest
We are respectful
We are working together
Devon and Somerset Fire and Rescue Service recognise and celebrate the vast diversity of the local communities that we serve and aspire for this to be reflected in our workforce. We encourage candidates from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs, who share our values, to consider working for us.
