Job description

Are you ready to lead a high‑performing Information Rights service at the heart of a national organisation protecting animal and plant health?

Do you have the expertise to ensure compliance with information rights legislation while championing transparency, accountability, and best practice?

At the Animal and Plant Health Agency, this is an opportunity to take on a pivotal leadership role within our Knowledge and Information Management (KIM) Team, where you’ll shape how we manage, protect, and provide access to information across a complex organisation.

Why Join APHA?

At APHA, we are proud to be an organisation where our people feel valued, heard, and empowered to be their authentic selves.

We put people first, with a strong focus on wellbeing, flexibility and a supportive working environment

We recognise that diversity of thought, experience, and background strengthens our organisation — enabling us to be more innovative, make better decisions, and deliver the best outcomes for the public we serve.

We are committed to being an inclusive and equitable employer, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We actively welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, particularly those from underrepresented groups, as we continue to build a workforce that reflects the communities we serve.

Join us and be part of a supportive, inclusive environment where your contribution matters and your voice is valued.

As Information Rights Team Leader, you will lead APHA’s Information Rights service, taking responsibility for managing requests under:

  • The Freedom of Information Act (FOI)
  • The Environmental Information Regulations (EIR)
  • The Data Protection Act (data subject requests)

You will ensure requests are handled effectively and in line with legislative requirements, while promoting a culture of openness and continuous improvement.

Key Responsibilities

You will:

  • Lead and develop APHA’s Information Rights service, ensuring it operates effectively and delivers to a high standard
  • Provide expert advice on information rights legislation, supporting colleagues and senior stakeholders
  • Ensure compliance, managing requests in line with statutory deadlines and regulatory expectations
  • Oversee complex casework, including internal reviews, ICO investigations, and tribunal contributions
  • Maintain and develop policies and guidance, ensuring they reflect current legislation and best practice
  • Manage APHA’s publication scheme, ensuring timely and accurate publication of responses

You will also:

  • Act as lead user for the eCase system, supporting effective case management across the team
  • Promote understanding of information rights, building capability across APHA
  • Work collaboratively with colleagues across the Defra Group and wider profession
  • Lead and support team members, fostering their development and performance
  • Contribute to the wider KIM agenda, promoting strong records and information management practices

Leadership & Impact

In this role, you will:

  • Inspire and guide a small, dedicated team
  • Influence senior stakeholders, providing clear, confident advice
  • Shape organisational practice, strengthening how information is managed and protected across APHA
