Support our community through sensitive data challenges with empathy, clarity and care.

As a Notification and Support Officer, you’ll help local residents navigate the impact of a complex data breach. We’re committed to providing clear, compassionate guidance and structured support when local people need it most.

Working Style

You’ll be based in the Borough for three days a week, playing a key role in serving the local community. Whether you’re working in the office, remotely or collaborating across departments, you’ll be part of a dedicated team delivering an empathetic, well-governed response.

What you’ll be doing

Your focus will be leading the day-to-day operation of our notification and support function, ensuring enquiries, cases and support pathways are managed with care, precision and complete regulatory compliance. You’ll establish and maintain scalable support channels – including helplines, inboxes and case-management systems – triaging incoming queries so that complex or high-risk cases are escalated appropriately.

Collaboration is central to this role. A core part of your day will involve working closely with frontline services such as Children’s Services, Adults’ Social Care and Housing to ensure vulnerable individuals receive safe, tailored support. When complex cases arise, you’ll handle them directly, maintaining clear and auditable case records to meet strict legal and governance standards.

You’ll also monitor enquiry trends to help senior leadership understand performance insights and refine our pathways. By balancing operational rigor with genuine empathy, you’ll ensure our service upholds our council-wide commitment to care, competence and fairness.

What you’ll bring

You’ll bring a relevant operational, customer service, or equivalent experience delivering complex, people-focused services in a high-volume, sensitive or crisis-response environment. You have a proven track record of managing challenging, emotional conversations with compassion, clarity and professionalism, alongside a clear understanding of when to escalate safeguarding concerns.

A thorough, practical understanding of data protection, confidentiality and information governance will be beneficial, as is your ability to handle sensitive personal information with complete integrity. You’re skilled at analysing operational data to identify emerging risks, building constructive relationships across service boundaries and navigating complex case-management systems under regulatory scrutiny.

Most importantly, you’re someone who combines resilience with sound judgement – a thoughtful practitioner committed to equality, who ensures every resident is treated with dignity, respect and care.

Why join us

At RBKC, we’re all in – investing in our people, our communities and our future.

While operating in a heavily scrutinised and regulated field presents genuine challenges, this role offers a rare opportunity to develop specialised expertise in data breach response and public sector governance. You’ll join a supportive, collaborative team environment where knowledge is shared freely and colleagues look out for one another.

We offer a competitive salary alongside comprehensive wellbeing support and opportunities for professional development within a team that values open communication, continuous learning and practical action.
