Information Management Officer (maternity cover in the SAR team)
Part-time: 21 hours per week on a Secondment (flexible working will be considered) until 31st July 2027
Salary: BR9 : from £37,262 pro rata
The Council’s Customer Relations Service is seeking to recruit an Information Management Officer on a fixed-term basis. This is to cover an existing team member who will be taking maternity leave.
The Service as a whole handles complaints, MP enquiries, subject access requests under the Data Protection Act and Freedom of Information (FOI) requests. It is a central part of the drive to improve the Council’s learning from the feedback it receives.
This role centres on the handling of subject access requests – from receiving, triaging and logging requests to collating the required data and redacting it in accordance with established principles.
You’ll be joining an established and experienced team who work hard in a friendly atmosphere. You’ll have your own caseload of requests to oversee whilst working as a team with your colleagues. We use OneTrust to manage, track and report on requests which you’ll keep updated.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Previous relevant experience would be ideal, given the need to hit the ground running, but is not essential as detailed training and support on the job, both upfront and ongoing, is available for the right candidate.
We aim to help those who contact us to the best of our ability whilst supporting our colleagues, in accordance with Council policies and various statutory regulations. You could be dealing on a daily basis with the public, Council officers, service users, Councillors, Members of Parliament and national regulators and will be able to adjust your approach to suit. A calm, personable and empathetic manner is therefore essential, as is a recognition of the value and impact of good customer service.
Applications will be assessed based on the criteria set out in the Job Description and Person Specification, which can be found here.
