Be our resident expert on Data Protection

As the UK's largest police service, the Met works with a vast amount of sensitive data. As a Data Protection Act (DPA) Caseworker, you'll make sure we handle all information safely and legally - so the Met is a transparent and data-compliant organisation.

 As part of our Information Rights Unit, you'll join a team of DPA and FOI experts. Together, you'll process Right of Access Requests made under the Data Protection Act 2018 (DPA) and General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). You'll also handle requests from insurance companies made under the Memorandum of Understanding between the Association of British Insurers (ABI) and the National Police Chief's Council (NPCC). Whatever the task, you'll complete it quickly, diligently and with great attention to detail.

Basic knowledge of the Data Protection Act 1998 & 2018 and General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) is essential. But it's just as important that you can express yourself well, both in person and on paper. A good communicator, you'll have strong customer service skills, plus knowledge of MS Word and Excel. And crucially, you see the bigger picture when dealing with complex, sensitive cases - not just the details on the page.

In return, we can offer a key role that comes with wide-ranging rewards and benefits. Ensure we observe data compliance laws. Join us at the Met.
