Data Protection Manager

Are you looking for an exciting opportunity to work for an organisation that makes a difference? An organisation that nurtures its people, encourages development, and rewards staff for their hard work.

If the answer is yes, then this is the place for you!

We are looking for an experienced and highly motivated data protection expert to join the Secretariat Team. You will embrace the challenge that such a varied role brings.

Position: Data Protection Manager

Location: Oxford/Hybrid

Hours: Part-time, 15 hours a week

Salary: £41,241.86 pro rata (actual £16,719.67)

Contract: Permanent

Closing Date: Midnight, Sunday 5 July 2026

Interviews: Tuesday 21 July 2026, Oxford

The Role

A highly valued role in the Secretariat Team of the Oxford Diocesan Board of Finance (ODBF) has become available due to the portfolio growth of the existing postholder.

This is an important role which combines high quality General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) advice and collegiate support, policy and practice development and hands-on case management, such as undertaking Subject Access Requests (SARs).

You will directly support ODBF staff, including training and response to queries and proactive advice and support to area teams (bishops, archdeacons and their teams) and parishes. The role provides an excellent opportunity for varied work, especially for someone who enjoys the full breadth and depth of data protection work.

Although there is no direct line management responsibility, the role requires working well in a team, supporting others with confidence in your personal decision-making. Whilst the role involves managing autonomously the full portfolio of data protection issues on a part-time basis, it sits within a friendly, high-functioning and highly motivated team, supported by the Director of Secretariat.

About You

In return, there will be many opportunities for you to enhance your skill set and gain new experiences, whilst performing a highly valued role, in an organisation striving to make a positive difference.

This role can be fulfilled on a hybrid basis, with some requirement for a physical presence in the office (Church House Oxford, Kidlington, Oxford, OX5 1GF).

You do not need to be a practising Christian or have a faith to work with us - around 50% of our staff are not practising Christians but are comfortable with the Christian ethos that underpins our work. However, all our staff do have a shared desire to make a difference.

The successful candidate must have the right to live and work in the United Kingdom.

Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted for interviews. If you do not hear from us, your application has not been successful.

We are particularly keen to receive applications from UK Minority Ethnic / Global Majority heritage and disabled candidates, who are currently underrepresented.

Our client is committed to the safeguarding, care, and nurture of everyone within the church community. They follow and are committed to their Safeguarding Policies and the relevant statutory legislation and guidance, "Working together" to ensure the welfare of children and young people is paramount.

You may have experience in other areas such as Data, Data Protection, Data Manager, Data Protection Manger, Data Officer, Data Protection Officer, GDPR Manager, GDPR Officer.

• Help carers navigate mental health, health and social care systems
• Facilitate carer groups, courses and awareness events
• Complete Carers Assessments and support access to personal budgets
• Work collaboratively with health, social care and voluntary sector partners
• Promote inclusion and help identify hidden carers in the community
• Maintain accurate records and contribute to quality and service improvement

You’ll also play an important role in creating a safe, inclusive and responsive service, shaped by the voices and experiences of carers.

About the service

Our Cornwall Mental Health Carers Service supports unpaid carers across the county, offering tiered support ranging from short-term guidance to more intensive, ongoing help.

We work flexibly — providing support face-to-face, online, by phone, and in community settings — and collaborate with partner organisations to ensure joined-up care.

What you’ll bring

We’re looking for someone who is compassionate, proactive and values-driven, with a genuine commitment to supporting carers.

Essential:

• Experience supporting people in health, social care, community, or carers services
• Understanding of unpaid carers’ needs and challenges
• Knowledge of mental health and recovery
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills
• Ability to provide person-centred support and practical advice
• Confidence in managing risk and responding to safeguarding concerns
• Good IT skills and ability to manage a varied workload
• A relevant qualification or willingness to complete Information, Advice and Guidance (IAG) within your first year

Desirable:

• Experience working directly with unpaid carers or families
• Experience facilitating groups or community activities
• Knowledge of local services and referral pathways

Why join us?

• Be part of a supportive, purpose-driven team
• Make a real difference to carers and families

DIRECTOR OF FINANCE AND RESOURCES

Are you a strategic finance leader with a heart for mission? Do you want your professional expertise to count for something more than the bottom line?

We are delighted to be partnering with Church Mission Society (CMS), who are supporting close to 200 people in mission across dozens of countries. CMS exists to make disciples of Jesus at the edges: the edges of church, the edges of society and the edges of our own comfort zones. They are now seeking an exceptional Director of Finance and Resources to help ensure that extraordinary mission work is sustainable for generations to come.

As a member of the Senior Leadership Team (SLT), you will provide strategic leadership across CMS's financial sustainability, organisational infrastructure and central resources. This is a genuinely broad and influential role, covering financial strategy and management, investments, treasury, risk, legal and regulatory compliance, property and facilities, IT and cyber security, and relevant corporate governance. You will also maintain oversight of CMS's residual pension-related responsibilities following the transfer of its defined-benefit pension liabilities.

You will be a trusted adviser to the CEO, board of trustees and the wider SLT, providing the financial clarity, challenge and confidence that enables CMS to make wise, sustainable decisions in service of its mission. You will lead four direct reports (Head of Finance, Head of ICT, Facilities Manager and Head of Legal) and serve as a director of a number of CMS subsidiary entities.

You will be a qualified accountant with significant senior finance leadership experience, ideally gained within a charity, not-for-profit or values-led organisation. You will bring proven ability to contribute at executive and board level, with strong experience across financial planning, audit, internal controls, management reporting and team leadership.

But this role asks for more than technical expertise. CMS is looking for someone with the wisdom to balance prudent stewardship with an appropriate appetite for risk, the courage to hold a firm line when necessary, and the humility to lead in a way that enables others to flourish. You will be collaborative, relational and service-oriented, someone who genuinely believes that finance exists to serve mission, not the other way around.

A committed and practising Christian, you will be in sympathy with CMS's values, its Ethos Statement, and its pioneering, servant-hearted approach to God's work in the world.

If you would like an informal conversation, please contact Adam Stacey, CEO at Charisma Charity Recruitment.

Applications should please be submitted through the Charisma website, to include your CV and supporting statement. Please see candidate pack for full details. 

We particularly welcome applications from individuals from minority groups as they are currently underrepresented within our organisation at this level. All appointments are made on merit of skill, experience and potential as set out in the job description and person specification.

All applicants must be wholeheartedly committed to the aims, ethos, and values of Church Mission Society. This post is subject to an Occupational Requirement that the post holder is a practising Christian, under Part 1 of Schedule 9 to the Equality Act 2010.

Closing date: 5 July 2026

First stage interviews with CMS: 14 July (online)

Second stage interviews with CMS: 29 July (in person)
