Data Protection Assistant

Lift Schools are committed to ensuring the highest levels of safeguarding and promoting the welfare of our pupils, and we expect all our people and volunteers to share this commitment. We adopt a fair and consistent recruitment process which is inline with Keeping Children Safe in Education guidance. This includes online checks for shortlisted candidates. All offers of employment are subject to an Enhanced DBS check, references, and where applicable, a prohibition from teaching check.

Lift Schools embraces diversity and promotes equality of opportunity. Job share, part-time and flexible working opportunities will be considered.

This is a fast-paced and varied role, so you'll need to be proactive, well organised, and confident communicating with a wide range of people, including senior leaders, colleagues, and parents and carers.

We're keen to hear from you if you:

• Have a genuine interest in data protection, compliance, or information governance
• Enjoy working in a responsive, sometimes unpredictable environment
• Are a clear and thoughtful communicator
• Has a keen eye for detail
• Are confident using Google Workspace (or keen to learn)

Experience in education, compliance, UK GDPR, Freedom of Information, or cyber security is helpful, but not essential. What matters most is your willingness to learn and grow.

Applicants must be UK-based and have the right to work in the UK.

If you're looking for a role where you can build skills, gain a recognised qualification, and be supported every step of the way, we'd love to hear from you.
