This senior leadership role will protect sensitive clinical, operational and personal information while enabling safe, reliable and digitally driven care. You will provide strategic direction across cyber security, information assurance, risk management, resilience and regulatory compliance, ensuring that security remains aligned with organisational priorities and patient safety.
Key responsibilities will include establishing and maintaining the cyber security roadmap; overseeing security operations, threat monitoring, vulnerability management, incident response and identity and access controls; and strengthening governance, policies, standards and assurance processes. You will lead the assessment and management of cyber risks across infrastructure, applications, connected medical devices, cloud services and third-party suppliers. The role will also involve directing responses to security incidents, coordinating investigations and recovery activity, and ensuring lessons learned are embedded.
