Security Advisor
We are seeking an experienced Security Advisor to provide practical, trusted advice that strengthens the organisation’s security posture and supports the delivery of safe, resilient services. Working with colleagues across operational, technical and business teams, you will assess security risks, recommend proportionate controls and help ensure that security considerations are embedded into policies, projects, processes and day-to-day decision-making.
Your responsibilities will include carrying out security risk assessments, reviewing existing controls and preparing clear advice for stakeholders at all levels. You will contribute to the development and maintenance of security policies, standards, procedures and guidance, while monitoring compliance and supporting the resolution of identified weaknesses. The role will also involve advising on information security, physical security, personnel security, access management, incident preparedness and business continuity. You will support investigations and post-incident reviews where required, identify lessons learned and help coordinate remedial actions. Building effective relationships will be essential, as you will work with internal teams, suppliers and relevant external partners to promote good security practice and improve awareness across the organisation.
Applicants should have demonstrable experience in a security, risk, assurance, compliance or related advisory role, together with a sound understanding of recognised security principles, risk management methods and relevant legislation or regulatory requirements. Experience of developing security documentation, conducting audits or assurance reviews, and translating complex issues into practical recommendations is highly desirable. Strong analytical, communication and influencing skills are essential, along with the ability to manage competing priorities, exercise sound judgement and work confidently with sensitive information. Professional security, risk or information assurance qualifications would be advantageous. The successful candidate will be proactive, collaborative and committed to continuous improvement, with a pragmatic approach to balancing security requirements against operational needs.
