Our client, a specialist consultancy, is looking to hire a Data Protection Consultant for a hybrid role based in London. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with a strong interest in data protection and compliance, offering varied, client-facing work with flexibility to work remotely.

About the Role:

As a Data Protection Consultant, you’ll be at the forefront of helping educational institutions meet their legal obligations and protect sensitive information. You’ll work closely with clients to assess risk, develop policies, respond to incidents, and deliver practical, high-impact training.

Key Responsibilities:

• Client Engagement – Build strong, trusted relationships and offer clear, tailored compliance guidance.
• Risk and Compliance Auditing – Review data practices and identify areas of non-compliance.
• Incident Response – Quickly contain and manage data breaches, providing expert support.
• Policy Development – Draft and update data protection policies and ensure documentation remains current.
• Reporting and Analysis – Produce well-written, analytical reports and carry out research as needed.
• Training Delivery – Deliver engaging training sessions, both in-person and online.
• Autonomous Working – Manage your own workload and adapt to different client needs.

What We're Looking For:

• Experience in data protection, compliance, legal, education, or consultancy. Candidates from related backgrounds are encouraged to apply.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex issues clearly.
• Strong organisational skills, with the ability to prioritise and work independently.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office and Office 365.
• A commitment to ongoing professional development.
• Experience working in or with the education sector is desirable but not essential.

Why Apply?

• Contribute to meaningful work supporting schools and academies.
• Enjoy a hybrid working model with autonomy and variety.
• Join a knowledgeable, supportive team with a strong sense of purpose.
• Benefit from ongoing training and development.
