Your responsibilities will include monitoring and investigating security alerts, responding to incidents and supporting threat detection and vulnerability management activities. You will conduct risk assessments, assist with penetration testing and remediation programmes, and recommend practical improvements to reduce exposure. You will also help design and maintain security controls across networks, endpoints, identity platforms and cloud services, ensuring that configurations align with recognised good practice. The role will involve contributing to security policies, standards and procedures, supporting audits, and maintaining accurate documentation and reporting.

Strong written and verbal communication skills are essential, as is the ability to collaborate effectively while handling sensitive information with discretion. Relevant professional certifications or equivalent practical experience are welcome.
