Privacy Officer

This will be your job

As a privacy officer, you are the primary point of contact within the organization for all matters related to privacy. You provide both solicited and unsolicited advice on compliance with the GDPR and other relevant laws and regulations. This applies not only to our services but also to our many innovative projects. You also ensure that the processing register is properly set up and kept up to date. You develop and deliver training sessions and awareness campaigns that raise the profile of privacy within the organization.

In addition, you will coordinate the handling and recording of data breaches and requests from data subjects, ensuring that everything is addressed in a timely and thorough manner. You will do this by supporting the work of the privacy officer and the network of privacy contact persons. You will oversee DPIA’s and ensure that areas for improvement are addressed. Finally, together with the Data Protection Officer, you will draw up the annual privacy plan and monitor its implementation, ensuring that Victim Support Netherlands continues to comply with privacy legislation and that victims can trust that their data is secure.

This is what it's all about

This is a great opportunity to put your knowledge and dedication to work for a social cause. You ensure the privacy of victims, and your colleagues can count on you. That’s why, under the Social Work Collective Bargaining Agreement, you’ll receive:

• A one-year contract with an option to renew.
• Training opportunities and access to the Skills Town learning platform.
• A personalized budget: 26 additional hours of leave, 8% vacation pay, and an 8.3% year-end bonus—to be used however you like. (Subject to a 36-hour workweek)
• An NS business card, for business travel in second class.
• An individual career budget.

Who are you? 

You take the initiative, work well independently, and know how to persuade your colleagues. You are solution-oriented and have strong communication skills—both written and verbal. Additionally:

• Do you have a college-level education and way of thinking, for example in law, business administration, or public administration?
• Do you have knowledge of the GDPR and related laws and regulations?
• Do you have 3 to 5 years of experience in the field of privacy?
• Are you good at planning and organizing?

In your cover letter, we’d like to hear why the role of privacy officer is a good fit for you, how you handle responsibilities, and why this particular social cause resonates with you.
