Security Adviser
We are seeking an experienced Security Adviser to provide trusted guidance on physical, personnel, information and operational security matters. The successful candidate will assess risks, recommend proportionate controls and support the development of a consistent security culture across a complex working environment. This role will involve working with stakeholders at all levels, translating security requirements into practical advice and helping teams manage threats effectively while maintaining business continuity.
Key responsibilities will include conducting security risk assessments, site inspections and vulnerability reviews; developing and maintaining security policies, procedures and contingency plans; and advising on protective security measures, access control, incident response and the safeguarding of people, premises and sensitive information. You will monitor emerging threats, investigate security incidents, prepare clear reports and track remedial actions through to completion. The role will also involve supporting security awareness activities, delivering briefings and training, contributing to exercises, and assisting with audits, compliance reviews and assurance programmes. You may be required to liaise with emergency services, contractors and specialist advisers when appropriate.
Applicants should have proven experience in a security, resilience, risk or protective security role, together with a sound understanding of risk management principles, incident management and relevant security standards or legislation. Excellent analytical, communication and stakeholder management skills are essential, as is the ability to prioritise competing demands and provide calm, practical advice in challenging situations. A professional security qualification or equivalent experience would be advantageous. You should demonstrate integrity, discretion and sound judgement when handling confidential information, and be comfortable working independently while contributing positively to a collaborative team. The role may require occasional travel, out-of-hours support or security clearance, depending on operational needs.
