• Degree in Cyber Security, IT, Computer Science (or equivalent experience).

Desirable:

• Background in housing, public sector, or regulated environments.
• Hands-on experience with firewalls, hybrid infrastructure security, SOC collaboration, and pen testing oversight.

• Excellent work-life balance: 24 days annual leave + 3 days Christmas closure + bank holidays (rising with service).
• Flexible working: Compressed hours/4-day week possible, hybrid (50% home working after probation).
