ReRoot Cyber is seeking highly skilled and forward-thinking penetration testers to join one of the UK’s most respected testing teams for their Scotland division.

This is an independent, privately owned testing consultancy led by industry-recognised names who are hackers at heart.

This team is led by an active penetration tester who understands the niggles of day penetration testing operations. As a result, engagements are centred around making your day-to-day responsibilities as easy as possible, with a pure focus on value added testing.

They have no problem with 2+1’s and pub sec engagements… but that’s not where they phish.

Most of your time will be spent on advanced testing and large-scale engagements that give you the opportunity to collaborate with wider technologists. (engineers, developers and blue teamers)

If you thrive on bringing ideas to life, creating bespoke tools and adding true value to your clients, then this is the penetration testing team for you.

This is a home based position with very very very limited travel & public sector work.

Full right to work in the UK is required

Ideally you will:

Hold active CHECK Team Member Status
Have experience with creating bespoke tools & scripts
Possess strong Infrastructure/Networking Knowledge
Have a desire to continually learn about the security of new technologies
Hold a genuine enthusiasm for solving problems & thinking outside the box

Despite being a CHECK penetration testing provider, the business is increasingly focused on commercial engagements in areas we know are proving popular amongst testers. (Cloud, OT, Red & Purple Teaming)

If you want to work on technically challenging engagements for a team that has a board approved ‘hacker first’ mandate for their team, do get in touch to learn more.

Apply now or get in touch on to learn more.

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

Advertising cyber security jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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 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.
