About us:
The Office for Students (OfS) is the independent regulator of higher education in England. We aim to ensure that every student, whatever their background, has a fulfilling experience of higher education that enriches their lives and careers.
About the role:
We are looking for an experienced Knowledge and Information Management Officer to join the Knowledge and Information Management (KIM) team. This is a varied role with the opportunity to work across the different KIM functions to ensure the management of information is in accordance with legislation and internal policies. You will be working on the improvement of the management of knowledge across the organisation and helping to ensure the OfS complies with Information Rights and Data Protection legislation.
The KIM team is part of the broader Legal function; however, you will also be working closely with colleagues across the organisation including the chief executive and directors.
About you:
Demonstrable experience of working within a KIM or information rights role and / or suitably qualified is essential. You will be proactive with excellent organisational and drafting skills, and demonstrate attention to detail. Partnership working with colleagues and understanding of the strategic context that the OfS is working within is key to success in this role. You will be confident in engaging with a wide range of people including at a senior level and have strong communication skills, including the ability to communicate specialist knowledge to non-specialists.
Working for us
The OfS regulates the higher education sector on behalf of all students. We value diversity and the wealth of perspectives, experience and ideas that it brings to our work, and we strive to embed equality of opportunity in everything we do.
We recruit based on fair and open competition and welcome applications from candidates regardless of age, disability, race and ethnicity, gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, religion or belief, sex, sexual orientation and socio-economic background.
Flexibility is important to the OfS, as we recognise that it can enable people to work more effectively. A set of organisation-wide principles shape our approach to flexible and hybrid working, which our teams then use as guidance on how they deliver their business goals. This would usually mean working from the office for two days in a typical week.
To attract the widest possible field of qualified applicants, flexible working, for example job share and part time working, apply to this role.
In addition, our Total Reward Framework offers a range of benefits to suit your way of life. These include comprehensive learning and development, annual leave starting at 25 days’ per year (plus public holidays), access to the highly regarded Civil Service pension scheme and a variety of health benefits.
