Are you organised, customer-focused and confident dealing with sensitive information?
We’re looking for a SARS Coordinator to manage Subject Access Requests from residents, making sure requests are handled accurately, sensitively and within regulatory timescales.
You’ll work closely with residents, colleagues across the business and our Data Protection and Governance teams to understand what customers are asking for, coordinate information, and make sure responses are compliant and easy to understand.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys solving problems, working with legislation and making sure customers receive the right information at the right time.
What’s in it for you…
In addition to the salary, we offer a number of benefits, including:
- High street discount schemes
- Health cash plans
- 26 days’ annual leave, increasing to 29 after three years, with the opportunity to buy more
- Flexible bank holidays – take them when it suits you
- Car leasing scheme
- Hybrid working – offering you the flexibility to thrive in your role. You'll have the opportunity to blend the best of both worlds, spending approximately two to three days per week in the office once settled in the role. This is flexible and depends on meeting cycles and board activity. We also offer an optional nine-day fortnight scheme, allowing you to compress your hours if it suits the role.
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.

- Coordinate information gathering, reviewing and redaction of documents in line with legislation
