Junior Security Operations Centre (SOC) Analyst
We are seeking a motivated Junior Security Operations Centre (SOC) Analyst to join a collaborative cyber security team. This is an excellent opportunity for someone at the beginning of their security career to develop practical experience in monitoring, investigating and responding to cyber threats within a structured operational environment.
In this role, you will monitor security alerts and events using SIEM, endpoint protection and other security tools. You will investigate suspicious activity, assess potential risks and escalate incidents in line with established procedures. You will also support the triage and documentation of security incidents, maintain accurate case records and contribute to post-incident reviews.
Your responsibilities will include reviewing logs and alerts, identifying indicators of compromise, assisting with vulnerability and threat intelligence activities, and helping to improve detection rules and operational processes. You may also contribute to reporting, security investigations, access reviews and the development of knowledge base articles and playbooks.
We are looking for candidates with a genuine interest in cyber security and a willingness to learn. You should have an understanding of fundamental security principles, common attack techniques, networking concepts, operating systems and technologies such as firewalls, authentication and endpoint security. Familiarity with SIEM platforms, ticketing systems, log analysis or frameworks such as MITRE ATT&CK would be advantageous.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills are essential, along with excellent attention to detail and the ability to communicate technical information clearly. You should be organised, dependable and comfortable working as part of a team, including participating in shift patterns or an on-call rota where required. Relevant qualifications, certifications or practical experience gained through study, projects or an internship are desirable.
This role offers structured learning, mentoring and opportunities to build your technical expertise in a supportive environment. If you are curious, methodical and keen to help protect systems, users and data from evolving cyber threats, we would welcome your application.
