Security Advisor
We are seeking a Security Advisor to provide trusted, practical advice that strengthens security across people, processes, technology and physical environments. In this role, you will work with stakeholders at different levels to identify risks, assess the effectiveness of existing controls and recommend proportionate improvements. You will contribute to a positive security culture by making complex issues clear, actionable and relevant to day-to-day operations.
Your responsibilities will include conducting security assessments, supporting risk reviews, maintaining risk and issue registers, and advising on appropriate mitigation plans. You will help develop, review and implement security policies, standards, procedures and guidance, ensuring they remain aligned with applicable legislation, regulatory expectations and recognised good practice. You will also support incident management activities, investigate security concerns, coordinate responses where required and capture lessons learned to reduce the likelihood of recurrence. The role may involve contributing to business continuity, information protection, physical security, third-party assurance and security awareness initiatives.
The successful candidate will have experience in a security, risk, compliance or assurance role, with the ability to assess risks and communicate recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences. You should be confident engaging with stakeholders, influencing decisions and managing competing priorities while maintaining attention to detail. Experience of security frameworks, risk management methodologies, audit activity, incident response or policy development would be beneficial. Relevant professional qualifications or certifications are desirable, although practical experience and a commitment to continuous learning are equally valued. You will be expected to demonstrate sound judgement, discretion, integrity and a collaborative approach, together with the ability to work independently and deliver high-quality advice within agreed timescales.
