Data Protection Analyst required to deliver high-volume Subject Access Requests on a hybrid contract in Oxford. £320 per day3 months (with a strong likelihood of extension)Oxford (Central) - hybrid working with light on-site presence (approximately 1 day every two weeks) Your new organisationWe are working with a large, highly regulated public sector organisation based in Oxford that processes significant volumes of personal and sensitive data. Due to sustained demand across its data protection function, additional interim support is required to ensure Subject Access Requests and other Individual Rights Requests are managed compliantly, accurately and within statutory timescales.The organisation operates in a complex, fast-paced environment where information rights, transparency and lawful data handling are critical. This assignment sits within an established data protection and access to information team and is focused on delivery rather than strategy. Your new roleThis is a hands-on Data Protection Analyst role, suited to a contractor with strong, practical experience processing Subject Access Requests. You will take ownership of a live caseload of SARs and related individual rights requests, managing them end to end from receipt through to lawful disclosure. The work involves locating, reviewing, redacting, and preparing information in accordance with the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018. You will regularly handle complex and high-volume requests, some of which involve highly sensitive or emotionally challenging content, requiring sound judgement, attention to detail, and a calm, proportionate approach. You will be responsible for applying exemptions accurately, including confidentiality, Legal Professional Privilege, and third-party data considerations, and for making defensible decisions on whether information can be released. Acting as the primary point of contact for requestors, you will ensure communication is clear, timely, and appropriate throughout the lifecycle of each request.

Experience within the public sector or similarly regulated environments such as social care, housing, healthcare, or education is highly advantageous, though not essential for candidates with strong SAR delivery experience. What you'll get in returnThis is a contract with purpose. Alongside a competitive daily rate, you'll gain the flexibility of remote working, the autonomy to lead a high-impact project and the chance to make a real difference in a respected organisation delivering services that change lives.
