Cyber Security Education & Awareness Officer
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a Cyber Security Education & Awareness Officer to help strengthen cyber resilience across a complex organisation. You will develop and deliver engaging awareness initiatives that enable colleagues to understand cyber risks, make informed decisions and follow secure working practices.
You will be responsible for creating and maintaining a varied programme of education and awareness activities, including training sessions, campaigns, newsletters, intranet content, guidance materials and simulated phishing exercises. Working closely with technical and non-technical stakeholders, you will translate complex security concepts into clear, accessible messages suitable for a range of audiences and roles.
The role will involve assessing awareness needs, monitoring participation and evaluating the effectiveness of campaigns through feedback, reporting and relevant performance metrics. You will use insight from security incidents, emerging threats and industry developments to keep content current and ensure communications remain practical, engaging and relevant.
You will also support the development and review of cyber security policies, standards and procedures, contributing to a positive security culture across the organisation. The postholder will build effective relationships with colleagues, managers and specialist teams, encouraging collaboration and helping embed secure behaviours into everyday working practices.
Applicants should have experience of delivering cyber security education, awareness, communications or related learning programmes. You will have a sound understanding of common cyber threats, such as phishing, social engineering, malware, password attacks and data loss, together with the ability to explain these clearly to varied audiences. Excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong organisational ability and confidence presenting to groups are essential.
Experience using learning management systems, communication platforms, survey tools or phishing simulation technologies would be beneficial. A relevant qualification in cyber security, information assurance, communications, training or a related discipline is desirable, although equivalent practical experience will be considered. You will be proactive, creative and collaborative, with a genuine interest in improving security awareness and supporting lasting behavioural change.
