The Information Governance Requests Officer is primarily responsible for handling Freedom of Information Requests and Environmental Information Regulation requests. It is an extremely busy role working within the remit of the Legislation governing this work i.e. Freedom of Information Act 2000; Data Protection Act 2018; General Data Protection Regulation 2016.

Oxford City Council has a statutory duty to respond to requests for information under the above Acts. This role would suit a highly organised individual who can apply strong attention to detail, preferably we are looking for someone with experience in FOI and EIR, although this is not essential the individual should be able to interpret the legislation and apply it accurately. Strong communication skills are also required as the role will involve discussion and debate with key individuals across the whole of the organisation including Oxford City Council’s Companies.
