Looking to take the next step in your IT career with a company that genuinely values your input and invests in your growth? If you're ready to work on a variety of technologies and be part of a newly established team with a fresh, forward-thinking approach, this could be the role for you.

We’re hiring on behalf of a leading MSP with a strong focus on cloud solutions, cyber security, and digital transformation. They’ve built their reputation by delivering outstanding service to clients across the UK, and now they’re growing again.

This role isn’t just about keeping things ticking over. It’s about diving deeper into tech, developing your skills, and being supported by a company that wants to see you progress.

What You’ll Be Doing

As a 2nd Line Support Engineer, you’ll be the go-to for resolving technical issues that go beyond the basics. Expect hands-on work, regular collaboration with the wider team, and the chance to be part of exciting customer projects.

Here’s a snapshot of what you’ll be doing:

Handling 2nd line support requests across a variety of client environments – mainly Microsoft-focused

Investigating and resolving escalations from the Service Desk team

Working with technologies such as Microsoft 365, Azure, Windows 10/11, networking, and more

Assisting in the setup, configuration and support of client systems, devices and infrastructure

Documenting fixes, updating knowledge bases, and contributing to process improvements

Liaising with 3rd line engineers and project teams to support more complex implementations

It's a varied role with loads of learning opportunities, ideal if you're naturally curious and love getting to the root of an issue.

What You’ll Bring

You don’t need to know everything – just bring solid foundations, a proactive attitude, and a real desire to learn.

What we're looking for:

Experience in a 2nd line support role, ideally within a fast-paced or MSP environment

Strong knowledge of Windows 10/11, Office 365, Azure AD and general desktop support

Familiarity with Windows Server environments (2016 onwards)

Understanding of basic networking – LAN, WAN, switches, firewalls

A methodical approach to troubleshooting and excellent customer service skills

Eagerness to learn and progress toward 3rd line responsibilities

Bonus points for:

Experience with Intune, Autopilot, Exchange Online, or virtualisation (VMware/Hyper-V)

Any exposure to cloud migrations or project work

Awareness of ITIL processes or Information Security best practices

Think you're nearly there but not quite ticking every box? Still apply, this company is all about development.

What’s in It for You?

Salary: £28,000–£35,000

Hybrid working: balance between home, office and site work

Leave: 23 days + your birthday off + bank holidays (increasing with service)

Private healthcare

Pension & life cover

Collaborative team culture with loads of knowledge-sharing

Progression path to 3rd Line and project work

Where to Advertise Cyber Security Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cyber security jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that reach offensive, defensive and GRC security talent. The candidate pool is small, heavily vetted and in high demand across government, financial services, critical national infrastructure and the private sector simultaneously. Many of the strongest candidates hold active security clearances, are not actively job-searching through general platforms, and move primarily through specialist networks and trusted referrals. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that security professionals expect. Specialist platforms, government-affiliated channels and cleared candidate networks each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by CybersecurityJobs.tech, covers where to advertise cyber security roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cyber Security Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the threat intelligence, cloud security and zero-trust hiring trends shaping UK cyber careers. Cyber security is one of the few sectors where demand for talent has never once dipped. Every major technological shift of the past decade — cloud migration, remote working, AI adoption, the proliferation of connected devices — has expanded the attack surface that security professionals are expected to defend. And every expansion of that attack surface has generated more jobs. But the cyber security jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. It is a structurally different market. The threats have evolved, the technologies used to combat them have changed, the regulatory environment has tightened considerably, and the roles being created reflect all of that. A job seeker who understands only the cyber security landscape of 2023 is already working with an outdated map. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping defensive and offensive security practice, and how the definition of a cyber security professional is broadening well beyond the traditional image of a network defender in a SOC. This article breaks down what the UK cyber security jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
