A Week in the Life of an Information and Data Governance Manager at Enfield Council 
Curious what it’s like to be in this role? Here’s a glimpse into a typical week… 
~~Monday~~ 
You kick off the week with a morning check-in with your team. As part of Digital Services, you’re responsible for leading the Council’s approach to information governance, so you review the latest compliance reports and check the status of any ongoing audits. A few departments have flagged overdue updates to their Information Asset Registers, so you send reminders and offer support. 
Mid-morning, you join a cross-departmental meeting to discuss the rollout of a new document management system. You advise on retention schedules and data classification protocols to ensure compliance with GDPR and internal policies. After lunch, you draft updates to the Council’s Data Sharing Agreement template, incorporating feedback from Legal and Cyber Security colleagues. 
You end the day reviewing the latest FOI and SAR requests with your Information Governance Officer, ensuring responses are on track and escalating any complex cases. 
 
~~Tuesday~~ 
Today starts with a Digital Services stand-up. You share progress on the annual Public Services Network (PSN) audit and flag a few areas needing attention before submission. 
Later, you meet with the Council’s Data Protection Officer to discuss a recent data incident. Together, you assess the root cause, draft a response plan, and prepare a briefing for the SIRO. You also liaise with the Cyber Security team to ensure technical controls are aligned with policy. 
In the afternoon, you deliver a training session on information governance for new starters. You enjoy tailoring the content to different services, helping staff understand their responsibilities and how to handle sensitive data securely. 
 
~~Wednesday~~ 
You begin with a review of the Council’s retention schedule. A few services have requested guidance on archiving legacy records, so you consult with Records Management colleagues and prepare tailored advice. 
Midday, you join a pan-London working group on AI data ethics. You share Enfield’s approach to ethical oversight and learn how other boroughs are adapting to emerging technologies. You make a note to update internal guidance to reflect best practice as a result of the collaboration. 
Later, you meet with Procurement to review a new supplier contract. You ensure data ownership clauses are clear and that information governance standards are embedded in the agreement. 
 
~~Thursday~~ 
No stand-up today, so you focus on policy development. You’re revising the Council’s Information Governance Framework, incorporating recent legislative changes and feedback from stakeholders. 
Just before lunch, you have your weekly 1-to-1 with the Head of Project Delivery and Governance. You discuss progress on audits, training delivery, and upcoming workshops. Your manager asks you to lead a briefing for Elected Members next week on data protection responsibilities. 
In the afternoon, you support the Digital Services SMT by preparing evidence of compliance for an internal assurance review. You collate documentation, highlight key risks, and propose mitigation strategies. 
 
~~Friday~~ 
You start the day by finalising your report on last quarter’s information governance performance. It includes metrics on FOI response times, training completion rates, and audit outcomes. 
Mid-morning, you join a webinar on ISO27001 implementation in local government. You take away ideas for strengthening Enfield’s information security posture and plan to share them with the Cyber Security team. 
After lunch, you attend the weekly Digital Services retro and planning meeting. You share highlights from your week and outline priorities for the next. A colleague asks for help reviewing a new AI tool’s data handling practices—you volunteer. 
You end the week by tidying up your notes, following up on emails, and making sure everything’s ready for another busy week.

It’s a dynamic, highly skilled and supportive service.

There is no better place to work in London than Hackney; we have great pride in our borough, our communities and our services. Hackney is one of London’s most vibrant and diverse boroughs. It’s one of the most sought after areas to live in London with good schools, parks and local amenities.
Hackney Council is undertaking an ambitious programme of regeneration across a number of housing estates and sites across the borough. We aim to transform places by building new neighbourhoods with well designed housing, streets and public spaces. The programme is building more than 3,000 new homes over the next 10 years and will deliver new council rented, shared ownership and outright sale homes across Hackney.
The Council’s Housing Regeneration and Delivery teams are leading the delivery of these homes at all stages, starting with writing the briefs for sites, selecting architects and the wider design teams, managing the design process, securing planning consent and procuring contractors and developer partners. We have won a number of prestigious awards for our housing schemes, including the RIBA Neave Brown Award for Housing 2024 and Overall Winner at the NLA Awards 2024. The Observer’s architecture critic said of Hackney “By cross-subsidising, talking to residents and valuing good design, the east London borough is investing in some of the best council housing ever built”.
We are looking for Development Managers to work in our Development Teams. As a Development Manager, you will lead the delivery of housing regeneration projects at all stages, from inception to completion. You will drive the delivery of regeneration schemes, and with consultants, contractors and development partners support the building of well designed, sustainable, safe and affordable homes - creating exemplary places, and ensuring that we realise genuine benefits for Hackney's communities.
Experience of delivering housing regeneration schemes and steering them through the development process is required. You will have a genuine commitment to delivering exemplary housing development and regeneration schemes, as well as a strong understanding of relevant technical matters relating to site development, especially procurement, design, project finance, housing development standards, planning and legal agreements for land and development transactions. You will also have a track record of successfully engaging with colleagues and residents, building positive and productive working relationships.
