Security Adviser
We are seeking an experienced Security Adviser to provide practical, risk-based advice that supports the protection of people, information, property and operational activities. The successful candidate will assess security risks, identify vulnerabilities and recommend proportionate controls across physical, personnel, information and operational security environments. You will work with colleagues and stakeholders at all levels, helping to strengthen security awareness, promote consistent standards and ensure that appropriate procedures are understood and followed.
Key responsibilities will include conducting security assessments, audits and site reviews; maintaining risk registers and security plans; developing and updating policies, procedures and guidance; and advising on access control, incident management, travel security, protective measures and business continuity. You will monitor emerging threats, investigate security incidents, support emergency and crisis response arrangements, and prepare clear reports and recommendations for decision-makers. The role will also involve delivering briefings and training, coordinating with internal teams and external partners, and supporting the implementation and review of security improvement programmes.
Applicants should have proven experience in a security, risk, resilience, compliance or related advisory role, together with a sound understanding of security principles, risk management methodologies and incident response. Strong analytical, organisational and communication skills are essential, as is the ability to translate complex risks into clear, practical advice for varied audiences. You should be confident working independently while contributing effectively to multidisciplinary teams, managing competing priorities and exercising sound judgement in sensitive situations. Experience of developing security documentation, conducting investigations or audits, and working within regulated or high-risk environments would be advantageous. A relevant professional qualification or equivalent practical experience is desirable. The role may require occasional travel, flexible working arrangements and the ability to respond to urgent security matters when necessary.
