We are looking for a motivated, dedicated and customer focused individual to join the team to play an important role in ensuring that HSE provides professional and legally compliant responses to any requests for information, ensuring information is handled compliantly within statutory deadlines.

As a Central Disclosure Officer, your role is to manage requests for information that need to be considered under a number of disclosure regimes including Data Protection (DPA), Freedom of Information (FOI), Environmental Information Regulations (EIR) and Civil Procedure Rules, providing accurate and consistent responses to customers within internal and statutory deadlines.

You will be responsible for logging requests that are received and making an assessment on the most appropriate regime to handle them. You will work collaboratively with internal and external customers to obtain accurate and relevant information. You will ensure that responses are compliant with internal processes and prepare responses for release to the customer, securing approval, as required, before issuing it.

Core to all of HSE’s work is the data, information and knowledge that we have gathered and developed, and which is used to support our field force of inspectors, scientists and policy makers. Information Technology plays a vital role in assuring that HSE staff have the right information, in the right place and at the right time.

Utilising Mobile Device Management technologies to deploy, build and control smart phones, tablets and laptops, HSE has been a leading government department at the forefront of innovative remote working solutions and is continuously looking at how to better support its 1500 inspectors and visiting officers in the field.

Newly refreshed server and data storage solutions, are securely hosted in modern commercial data centres and monitored by HSE’s Security Operations Centre. Using industry-leading components, management tools and software, the data centres have undergone significant investment in recent years to ensure that services are reliable and robust.

HSE is now developing on a roadmap to replace its core business systems. Major digital services programmes are underway, operating with the guidance of the Government Digital Service’s service manual and TCOP, to redesign how HSE delivers its work and how new technologies can improve operational processes. Collaboration and IoT are integral to HSE’s future, supporting remote inspections and compliance monitoring.
