I am currently in the process of having my (new) job description of Data Protection Officer evaluated. I have been asking close colleagues if they would mind helping me try to assess the grade and or salary attached to such posts. Responses have been very positive and indicate that a DPO's salary ranges greatly from organisation to organisation.
However, the responses I refer to have only amounted to about 7 or 8 to date and I would very much like to get a wider base of replies. Would anyone on this forum be prepared to tell me either their salary range, or grade within the organisation structure (eg, grade 5 on a scale from 1 (bottom) to 10 (top) or whatever, together with an idea of whether they are full time DPO's or have other responsibilities in addition.
I am particularly interested in local authority responses for obvious reasons, but would be happy to hear from the private sector / education or whatever as well. To start us off I will state that, pending evaluation, I am a full time DPO on Hay grade 8 (scale H13 bottom to H1 top) but with an 'honorarium' for my 'extra resposibilities' since taking on data protection, making my current salary range £19,600 to £21,500 pa.
If you do not fancy declaring such information to the mailbase, please contact me directly - [log in to unmask] or tel 01454 865042, I would, of course, treat all info offered in complete confidence.
Anyone interested in anonymised results in due course, please let me know.
Grateful for any and all responses
Dave Uppington
Data Protection Officer
South Gloucestershire Council
