Ready to help protect something that really matters?

At Specsavers, we're here to change lives through better sight and hearing. That means delivering outstanding value, being loved by every customer, and building a place where everyone feels proud to belong. As our business continues to grow, so does our commitment to keeping it safe, and that's where you come in.

This is your chance to step into the heart of Cyber Operations.

As a Security Operations Specialist, you'll be part of our Security Engineering team, supporting the technology and monitoring capabilities that protect Specsavers from cyber threats every single day. This is a hands-on, collaborative role where curiosity is encouraged, learning is constant, and your contribution genuinely makes a difference. You'll work closely with senior engineers as you build strong foundations in security tooling and incident response, gaining exposure to on-prem, cloud and internet-facing environments along the way.

You'll be trusted to get stuck in and make things better.

From operating and supporting security tools, to helping onboard and validate log sources, you'll play a key role in keeping our security monitoring services running smoothly. When alerts or incidents occur, you'll be right there, calmly working with infrastructure, cloud, application and engineering teams to support remediation and escalate when needed. You'll also help keep our documentation clear and current, and you'll be encouraged to share ideas that improve how we do things tomorrow.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to grow.

You'll bring a solid understanding of core cyber security principles, along with familiarity with cloud platforms like Azure, AWS or GCP, and modern security tools such as endpoint protection, email security or SIEM technologies. Experience working in a support or operational environment will help you hit the ground running, but just as important is your mindset. If you're curious, collaborative and motivated to learn, you'll feel right at home here. We're especially interested in people who can show how they live our values and behaviours, because how we work together matters just as much as what we deliver.

If you're looking for more than “just a job”, this could be it.

You'll join a supportive team, grow highly sought-after skills, and help protect an organisation that genuinely improves lives every day. If you're excited by the idea of building your security career while making a real impact, we'd love to hear from you.

This role closes on Friday 19th June 2026. Don't delay your application, apply now - you'll be glad you did.

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.
