Job summary

We’re an increasingly data-driven organisation, where information is at the heart of everything we do. As a Knowledge and Information Specialist, you’ll maximise the impact of our data and make active contributions to our mission. Working with a range of unique, interesting, and unusual information, you’ll help us put data at the forefront of our business outcomes and inform key decision-making.

Job description

You’ll help implement best practice and support the development of our community. This is a customer-facing role where you’ll provide advice and guidance on a range of different requirements while helping to shape your team’s approach. You’ll engage with others across the business and ensure wider compliance and standards.  
 
You’ll represent the Data and Information Department and its aims. You’ll likely complete your first role in a central team focusing on data, information or records management, to give you an understanding of our objectives.  
 

You’ll be part of a team working across a number of related subject areas such as policy, information and knowledge management, data management, data governance and compliance. 

You’ll have a key role in enabling digital transformation. You’ll remain adaptable to technological changes, which could include overseeing a range of systems and ensuring developments in information management tools are implemented. There may also be opportunities to contribute to the design and delivery of training packages.

Person specification

You may have a qualification in a data/information/records management or data governance role or a minimum of two years relevant experience in data, information, or records management. In short, you’ll have a head for data but not data science: you might have worked with an electronic document and records management system, developed information policies, or been involved with archiving and knowledge management. 
 
You’ll be working with customers in a team environment, engaging with others across the organisation as well as close partners. So, you’ll enjoy working with people and be able to influence others, shape requirements, and act as a subject matter expert. 
 
You’ll have excellent problem-solving skills and have demonstrable experience applying policy and legal frameworks to a variety of situations. Creative and a self-starter, you’ll take ownership of your work and operate with limited supervision where appropriate. And, you’ll be proactive about contributing your knowledge to the Data and Information Management community, to develop new ways of working.
You’ll receive a starting salary of £34,414 – £36,733 depending on experience plus other benefits including:  
 
•    25 Days Annual Leave automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years’ service, and an additional 10.5 days public and privilege holidays 
•    Opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme 
•    Interest-free season ticket loan 
•    Excellent pension scheme 
•    Cycle to work scheme 
•    Facilities such as a gym, restaurant and on-site coffee bars (at some locations) 
•    Paid parental and adoption leave.
