The role will work directly with senior stakeholders including the Governance Committee, Caldicott Guardian, Senior Information Risk Owner (SIRO), Data Protection Officer (DPO), Information Asset Owners (IAOs) and members of the Executive Team, providing assurance, advice, reporting and constructive challenge where appropriate. The postholder will be responsible for both the strategic development and hands-on delivery of the organisations IG framework, ensuring compliance with legislation, NHS standards and best practice.
