Disclosures Manager

Hours: 37.

We are looking to recruit to a Disclosures Manager within Bristol City Council. You will lead a team of fellow SMEs to enable Bristol City Council to meet its legal obligations under the Freedom of Information Act, the Environmental Information Regulations, and the UK GDPR to provide access to information, either in order to make public services transparent, open, and accountable, or to meet data subject access obligations. In order to better meet these obligations a new team has been created to centrally manage Bristol City Council’s disclosures obligations.

You will be critical in ensuring Bristol City Council understands and meets the above obligations. You will do so by utilising subject matter expertise to ensure that information is provided in accordance with legislative and internal policy requirements, that any exemptions from disclosure are applied correctly and consistently, and that organisational policy and training materials are sufficient and effective.

You will be based at City Hall with the option to work flexibly.
