Looking for a role where your data protection expertise makes a real impact? Join a forward-thinking organisation supporting schools and academies to strengthen data governance, manage risk, and navigate GDPR with confidence.



You'll provide practical advice, build strong compliance frameworks, and support clients during incidents to ensure personal data is managed safely and lawfully. The role offers autonomy and a balanced working environment, with flexibility to work remotely or hybrid. It's an excellent opportunity for someone seeking variety and responsibility, applying their data protection skills to deliver meaningful improvements across education settings.



Key Responsibilities:



This is a varied advisory and client-facing role. You will:



Act as a trusted expert to schools and academies on all aspects of GDPR and data protection

Lead data protection audits and risk assessments

Support clients in managing data breaches with confidence and clarity

Draft and update concise, practical policies and procedures

Produce professional reports with clear, actionable recommendations

Work collaboratively within a supportive team environment



Why This Role Stands Out:



Real work-life balance

Remote-first and highly flexible working arrangements

Meaningful work that supports school communities

Autonomy to manage your own clients and workload

Supportive, collaborative culture without rigid hierarchy

Varied work across different schools and projects

Encouragement for continual learning and development



About You:



Experience in data protection, GDPR, compliance or advisory roles (education experience helpful but not essential)

Strong communication skills with the ability to explain technical issues clearly

Confidence managing your own workload and client relationships

A proactive, solutions-focused approach

Good IT skills (Microsoft Office/365) with the ability to quickly learn new systems



If you enjoy simplifying complex issues, building relationships, and delivering practical solutions, this role will suit you well.
