Our cyber practice is a fast-growing community of industry leading experts. The practice covers Assurance, Compliance, Security Operations (SecOps), Offensive Security and Security Research. It is critical that the relevance and quality of the services that we provide is maintained and augmented and that the team members have every opportunity to grow and learn with the organisation.

We are enhancing our Information Assurance practice, to which you will provide assurance expertise to both public and private sector clients, such as UK Central Government and blue chip corporate clients.

We are looking for enthusiastic information security professionals to solidify our strong position in the market.

Due to the nature of the client engagements, every employee needs to be able to achieve Security Clearance. This means that you need to have the right to take up employment within the UK, do not have or require any visa to work, and have been resident in the UK for at least 5 years without any gap(s) totalling more than 6 months.

As an employer we believe in facilitating a flexible work pattern whilst taking into consideration operational requirements, client and individual needs. We are proud of our hybrid work pattern that typically sees employees in the office for a minimum of 2 days per week. 

You should be able to easily commute to our Manchester office.  For some roles/projects, travel to the clients’ offices will be required and the frequency is often determined by the client.
