Information Asset Officer We're seeking someone to support the Council's Information Governance Unit and its project response team to the Scottish Child Abuse Inquiry as an Information Asset Officer. You will search, review and redact historic and semi-current social work records to facilitate access, primarily via data protection legislation, to various audiences, including care-experienced individuals, the police, Redress and the national inquiry itself. This work will involve reading difficult material about historical child abuse. This includes supporting the use of the Council's offsite records storage contract with Iron Mountain through account management, training and issue resolution. You need to have experience working in a large organisation, preferably a local authority and have had to deal with requests for information - whether internal or from the public. You need to understand broadly what a Scottish local authority does and what types of records and data it produces when doing it. Knowledge of social work functions and information assets is particularly useful. You will receive trauma-informed training to help you with this. This post is regulated work with children and/or protected adults under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007. Where an individual has spent a continuous period of 3 months or more out with the UK in the last 5 years, an Overseas Criminal Record Check will be required. We particularly encourage applications from women for senior roles, as well as people from minority ethnic backgrounds, people with disabilities or neurodivergent people, care experienced people, carers and LGBT+ people across all levels of the organisation, all of whom are currently underrepresented. You can find out more on Our Behaviours web page Our Behaviours - The City of Edinburgh Council Our salary range typically reflects the initial starting salary and annually increases until it reaches the top of the range.
