The proposed interview date is W/C 5th January 2026.
Due to the bespoke nature of this role, the pay scale is split into two;

With a FOI or DP qualification; SO1 (Senior Officer 1) - £37,020 to £39,276

The main function of the unit is to process two main statutory disclosures;- Freedom of Information Requests (FOI’s, as per Freedom of Information Act 2000) and Data subject access requests (DSAR’s, as per the Data Protection Act 2018 & UK General Data Protection Regulation).
