In-House Interim Support Lawyer

In-house Data Protection Opportunities | Senior Solicitor & Junior Support | Flexible/Remote Working| 6 Month FTC with potential for extension

The Client

An opportunity to join a large, well-established and highly regarded UK plc, recognised for its positive approach to employee wellbeing and retention. With a busy legal function and a strong reputation as an employer, the organisation is looking to strengthen its Data Protection team with two temporary appointments.

Both roles offer flexible working and the opportunity to make an immediate impact within a high-profile, business-critical function.

The Role’s

Two opportunities are available, initially for six months, with the potential for a longer-term requirement as the team continues to build capacity and stabilise.

Senior Data Protection Solicitor

• Provide experienced legal support across a broad range of data protection matters.
• Advise on and support Data Protection Impact Assessments (DPIAs).
• Review, draft and advise on contractual data protection provisions and associated agreements.
• Help manage a substantial workload, providing practical, effective support across the wider function.

Junior Data Protection Support

• Support the Subject Access Request (SAR) process, from receipt and distribution through to information gathering and coordination.
• Collect, organise and manage information to ensure requests progress efficiently.
• Provide essential administrative and process-driven support within a busy data protection function.
• Both positions offer the chance to join an established organisation at a time when additional support is genuinely needed, with the opportunity to contribute from day one.

The Person

Senior role:

An experienced data protection solicitor with a sound understanding of the practical application of data protection law, including DPIAs, contractual provisions and related drafting. You will be confident managing a busy workload, working autonomously and providing pragmatic, commercially focused support.

Junior role:

A legally minded individual with experience of data protection processes, information gathering or SAR administration. Paralegals are particularly welcome, although applications from newly qualified solicitors, legal executives and candidates with transferable experience will also be considered.

For both positions, you will be organised, proactive and comfortable working within a large organisation where processes, accuracy and the ability to manage competing demands are essential.
