About this role

As the operational lead for information governance, you will support the Data Protection Officer to ensure HJE remains compliant with the UK GDPR, the Data Protection Act 2018, ICO guidance and sector best practice, including the NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit. You will investigate information governance incidents and complaints, working closely with the DPO, SIRO and Caldicott Guardian to assess risk and potential breaches, meet the 72-hour reporting window where required, and turn lessons learned into lasting good practice. Day to day, you will develop and deliver information governance training and guidance, maintain policies, privacy notices and the IG risk register, and carry out audits and compliance spot checks across the Hospital and Hospice. You will work with Information Asset Owners to map assets and data flows and maintain the centralised Register of Processing Activities, support colleagues with Data Protection Impact Assessments, and under the supervision of the General Counsel review Data Sharing Agreements and carry out supplier due diligence. You will ensure data subject requests are answered within statutory timeframes (supporting the Medical Records team on medical records requests), attend and report to the Information Governance Committee on key compliance KPIs, complete and submit the annual NHS Data Security and Protection Toolkit, and support the SIRO, DPO and Caldicott Guardian in discharging their duties.
