What we’re looking for

We’re excited to be recruiting for a proactive and detail-oriented Privacy Compliance Officer to support the Data Protection Officer at WorkNest People, helping us meet our obligations under UK data protection legislation. In this role, you’ll play a key part in monitoring internal compliance, providing clear and timely guidance to teams across the business, and coordinating information for important assessments. You’ll be a friendly and approachable first point of contact for data protection queries, support the handling of data subject access requests, and help maintain accurate records of processing activities. You’ll also get involved in reviewing and updating privacy notices and policies, managing due diligence requests, monitoring e-learning compliance, and supporting a range of assessments, including DPIAs and legitimate interest assessments.

While previous experience in a data protection environment isn’t essential, strong organisational skills, attention to detail, and the ability to build positive relationships with colleagues and clients are key to succeeding in this role and ensuring data protection is handled confidently, consistently, and with care.

About you

We’re looking for someone with a genuine interest in data protection and a curiosity to learn more about European data protection legislation and compliance. You’ll bring strong attention to detail, excellent organisational and administrative skills, and the ability to prioritise effectively when managing competing demands. You’re someone who acts with integrity and discretion, communicates clearly and professionally, and feels confident working both independently and as part of a team. A proactive mindset and strong analytical skills will help you approach challenges with confidence, while a commitment to continuous learning will ensure you stay up to date with evolving regulations and best practice.

While a recognised privacy or data protection qualification (such as CIPP/E or a Foundation/Practitioner Certificate in Data Protection) or a legal background would be an advantage, it’s not essential, we’re equally interested in your potential and enthusiasm to grow. In return, you’ll be part of our amazing, supportive culture where collaboration, development, and sharing ideas are truly encouraged, and where you’ll have the opportunity to build your expertise and make a meaningful contribution.
