We are looking for an enthusiastic person to join Norwich City Council to be our Data Protection Officer (DPO) and lead our Information Governance Team.
You will lead on the information governance agenda for the Council and its wholly owned companies. You will ensure that information compliance measures are in place, take a proactive approach to the identification and management of information risks, and work to ensure on-time responses to statutory information requests.
Working with the Legal and Governance Service, and with officers across the wider organisations, you will promote a culture of compliance and support the Council’s digital by default agenda.
