The Committee for Home Affairs is looking for candidates to join the Data Protection Authority.
The Authority oversees the delivery of the Bailiwick's regulatory regime for privacy and data governance, provides strategic direction and oversight, and safeguards the independence of the Data Protection Commissioner. This is all with the goal of ensuring Guernsey continues to provide the highest level of protection for personal data.
The role would require a commitment of six days a year.
Candidates should have experience advising senior stakeholders on governance matters and experience working in data protection would also be welcome. They should make an expression of interest to the Office of the Committee by emailing HomeAffairs@gov.gg. A candidate brief can also be obtained from the Office.
Deputy Robert Prow, President of the Committee for Home Affairs, said:
"The Data Protection Authority plays a very important role in the continuous implementation and oversight of the Data Protection Law, which in turn is very important for the protection of personal data in our community. We are always grateful to the members who give up some of their time to support the Authority, and are looking forward to the support of whoever takes up this exciting opportunity."
