The role is suitable for people with some professional data protection experience who wish to specialise and become subject matter experts. Candidates may already work with a data protection team or in a related field. 

 

Client facing experience and appropriate qualifications would be ideal but are not essential.

 

The Role

Your role will be to assist our consultants to help clients improve their data protection compliance and support our outsourced data protection officers.

Your activities will include:

  • Supporting data protection consultancy
  • Responding to client queries and supporting their ongoing compliance
  • Assisting with specific tasks, such as dealing with DSAR’s, completing DPIAs and drafting policies and notices

The Person

You will have some experience of data protection and an understanding of data protection laws in the UK - including the GDPR and/or Data Protection Act.

 

We don't need you to be an expert - we'll support your development and invest in training. You will need to be detail oriented, a fast learner and have a desire to become a subject matter expert.

 

Over time we will support your development into being a Data Protection Consultant, by investing in formal training and providing mentoring and career development support.

 

Successful candidates will have strong written and verbal communication skills. The interview process will include asking shortlisted candidates to complete a short-written assignment and communication skills will be assessed throughout the interview process.

 

The Package

The salary on offer will depend on experience and qualifications but will be between £25,000 and £35,000.

 

We'll enrol you in our pension scheme and upon completion of probation you will qualify for additional benefits including private healthcare, life assurance and dental and optical cashback. You'll get 25 days of annual leave entitlement plus bank holidays and your birthday off.

 

Why Work for Us

Evalian support a wide range of clients and organisations. The work is interesting and varied and we operate a relaxed and flexible working environment and provide consultants with access to key resources, including the DataGuidance platform.

 

You'll work with a great team of more than 70 people specialising in data protection and information security. We put focus on knowledge sharing, continual development and support achievement of professional qualifications.

 

Location

The role can be office based, home based or hybrid. With this in mind, we are happy to receive applications from candidates in any part of the UK provided you can work effectively from home and are willing to travel to client sites from time to time.

 

If you are home based, you'll need to have a dedicated, secure, working area and reliable internet connection. We may request that you attend our offices or events from time to time for various purposes, but we’ll always provide you with advance notice. Travel expenses will be reimbursed. 

 

Minimum Experience

You must have some experience of working in the field of data protection and be keen to further your knowledge and develop within the industry.
