We are looking to recruit a Cyber Security Analyst into an expanding Cyber Security team, supporting over 10,000 Healthcare users to work securely, effectively, and efficiently and utilise a continually evolving suite of digital tools, systems, and services.  To also enhance our cyber security readiness and capabilities, to tackle emerging cyber risks.

The ideal candidate will have an array of skills and knowledge, through a combination of working experience, education, and self-learning, enabling them to play a central role in handling diverse cyber security activities in a complex and highly dynamic NHS Trust environment.  This role is perfect for a motivated, proficient, values-driven Cyber Security/IT professional, hungry for a new challenge.

You'll assist with Cyber Security incident detection, response and recovery as well as the development, implementation, maintenance and testing of the Trust’s Cyber Incident Response Plan (CIRP) and Security Strategy.

You will also work on and be actively involved with the development, implementation and maintenance of cyber security policies, controls, threat analysis, testing, assessments, auditing, reporting, detailed documentation, training, and other security activities.

You'll be promoting cyber security awareness, good practice and compliance amidst end users, Trust service leads and other stake holders, helping to identify the risks, statutory requirements, and benefits, to ensure that high standards of cyber security are continually, efficiently, and effectively applied across the Trust.
