Information Governance Manager - Adult Social Care & Public Health

The starting salary for this role is £46,634 per annum, working 36 hours per week.

The team is based at Guildford Borough Council offices, Millmead, Guildford, Surrey, GU2 4BB, but the role will be Surrey-wide.

As part of our greener future strategies and our commitment to creating a healthy work-life balance, we welcome a conversation with you regarding our remote working options. Remote working to us is a balance of spending time in our communities, our offices and working from home or wherever works best. However, there is a requirement to conduct in-person training and awareness sessions at our offices.

An exciting opportunity has arisen to lead the Information Governance function for Adult Social Care at Surrey County Council.

The role is responsible for developing and supporting best practice in all aspects of Information Governance and Data Protection and as such, we are looking for an experienced individual with a high level of understanding of this complex subject matter. In addition to your technical knowledge, you will need to be well organised and a skilled communicator. Previous experience of working in Adult Social Care is essential and, as the role provides advice on IG matters to the Public Health service too, therefore you will need to have a deep understanding of the wider Health and Social Care landscape.

The role will be responsible for managing a small team and therefore previous experience of managing staff is also a key requirement.

At Surrey, our values and behaviours are just as important as our skills and abilities. They shape who we are as an organisation. Find out more about the values we follow.

This job advert closes at 23:59 on Monday 22nd August 2022 with interviews to follow.

An enhanced DBS ‘Disclosure and Barring Service’ check for regulated activity (formerly known as CRB) and the Children’s and Adults’ Barred List checks will be required for this role.
