Senior Digital Cyber Security & Compliance Specialist

Trosolwg o'r swydd

We’re looking for a proactive and technically-skilled Senior Digital Cyber Security & Compliance Specialist to help strengthen and evolve the cyber resilience of one of the largest NHS Trusts in the UK.

You’ll act as a subject matter expert in cyber security — providing hands-on support, technical assurance and specialist guidance to colleagues across Digital and Clinical teams. Working alongside the Chief Information Security Officer, the Digital Cyber Security & Compliance Manager, and senior colleagues across Datacentre, Networks, Operations and Architecture, you’ll help design, implement and monitor controls that keep our systems, data and patients safe.

This is an exciting opportunity to work at enterprise scale — protecting critical healthcare infrastructure, supporting national frameworks such as DSPT and NIS Regulations, and contributing directly to the Trust’s long-term cyber strategy.

Advert

• Act as a cyber security subject matter expert, supporting Trust-wide compliance with information security policies, standards and frameworks.

• Monitor and analyse the Trust’s digital infrastructure daily using enterprise security tools (e.g. AV, SIEM, EDR, firewall and encryption platforms) to detect and mitigate emerging threats.

• Lead on incident investigation and forensics, ensuring accurate reporting, documentation and learning outcomes.

• Conduct regular security testing and audits, producing high-quality reports and coordinating remediation activities with relevant teams.

• Develop and maintain cyber security policies, procedures and awareness training to embed secure behaviours across the organisation.

• Support the implementation and tuning of SIEM and related monitoring platforms, ensuring effective detection and response capabilities.

• Provide technical input and assurance for projects, ensuring new solutions meet Trust and national security requirements.

• Liaise with clinical, technical and supplier stakeholders to balance operational delivery with security best practice.

• Contribute to risk assessments, documenting and escalating security risks through appropriate governance and assurance frameworks.

• Keep abreast of current and emerging cyber threats, technologies and regulatory changes, translating these into practical advice for the organisation.
