Security Consultant

Job: Security Consultant

Location: UK wide with hybrid working and client travel

Salary:

• £50,000 to £70,000 per annum

Security Clearance: BPSS and SC eligibility required

Package:

• 30 days annual leave
• Private medical insurance
• 3 additional days for charitable work
• Access to large scale transformation programmes
• Structured learning, certification and progression support

Role Context

This is a consulting security role focused on complex engagements across health and public sector environments. The remit sits at consultant level but the delivery exposure is broad, covering security architecture, secure solution design, risk assessment and advisory input into large transformation programmes.

The role is suited to candidates who want to work beyond narrow operational security activity. The core focus is helping shape secure digital, cloud and infrastructure solutions in regulated environments where governance, resilience and stakeholder scrutiny are high. Programmes are typically large, multi supplier and business critical, requiring clear communication, structured thinking and the ability to balance risk, compliance and delivery pace.

The successful individual will contribute to security design decisions, identify vulnerabilities in architecture and translate technical risk into language understood by programme, delivery and business stakeholders. This is a strong fit for candidates with experience in consulting, public sector security, or architecture aligned cyber advisory work who want broader scale and stronger long term progression.

Travel will form part of the role depending on client need, but the opportunity is genuinely UK wide rather than London centric. The hiring focus is on capability, adaptability and credibility in front of clients operating in sensitive and highly governed environments.
