At Cancer Research UK, we exist to beat cancer.

Our understanding of cancer is increasing at a faster pace than ever before, and more people are surviving thanks to the work we do. Every day we achieve extraordinary things by being innovative, imaginative and bold in our work.

Now we're looking for a Senior Data Governance & Access Officer to play a pivotal role in supporting Cancer Intelligence's data governance and information security activity. You'll help maintain our official data security accreditations and processes, whilst enabling the secure acquisition, management and use of complex datasets that support evidence-based policy making and influencing across the Policy, Information & Communications Directorate.

What will I be doing?

• Lead the maintenance and annual submission of Cancer Research UK's Data Security and Protection Toolkit accreditation. • Support the acquisition, transfer, storage and management of sensitive datasets. • Provide technical and logistical support for data access applications and research approvals. • Maintain governance standards, metadata records and data management processes. • Provide advice and support to analysts and researchers on data governance and handling best practice. • Develop strong relationships with NHS organisations, data suppliers and external stakeholders.

What are we looking for?

• Experience managing recognised data security and information governance accreditations. • Strong knowledge of data protection, information governance and information security principles. • Experience supporting analysts or researchers in health or research settings. • Experience assessing data quality and implementing risk mitigation measures. • Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills. • Advanced Microsoft Office skills, particularly Excel.

There’s a place for everyone at Cancer Research UK. Our vision is to create a charity where everyone feels like they belong, benefits from and participates in, the work we do. We're committed to creating an inclusive culture where everyone can be themselves and reach their full potential.

We actively encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and cultures, in particular those from ethnic minority backgrounds who are currently under-represented, and believe that a diverse workforce will help us to beat cancer sooner.

If you’re interested in applying and excited about working with us but are unsure if you have the right skills and experience we’d still love to hear from you. We don’t expect everyone to meet all of the criteria listed.

We want to see every candidate performing at their best throughout the job application process, interview process and whilst at work. We therefore ask you to inform us of any concerns you have or any adjustments you might need to enable this to happen by emailing us at [email protected].

Unfortunately, we are unable to recruit anyone below the age of 18, so that we can protect young people from health & safety and safeguarding risks.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
